In this episode, we explore what it really means for an organisation to live its values every day.

Mrs Sheridan shares the five core pillars that underpin Moore House Group: Acceptance, Innovation, Resilience, Empowerment and Responsiveness, and how these are embedded across practice.

We also hear about the organisation’s journey with Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP), including Mrs Sheridan’s “lightbulb moment” with Dr Dan Hughes, and how this approach helped create a shared language of attachment, safety and relationships across the organisation.

The episode concludes with an honest reflection on relational repair, highlighting how these values are not only applied in supporting young people but are equally important in how staff and colleagues are supported and understood.

In this episode, Mrs Sheridan explores why building a culture of genuine warmth and zero judgment is a constant investment in a child’s self-esteem, and how she uses a specific "litmus test" to ensure every person who walks through the door feels an immediate sense of belonging.

From high-quality clothing to the annual glamour of proms and prize-givings, we look at the importance of saturating children with richness. These aren't just events, but intentional deposits into a child’s "memory bank," designed to replace a history of hardship with a future of pride.

Finally, Mrs. Sheridan shares the moving story that led to the birth of the In Touch team; a powerful reminder that the need for support doesn't end when a placement does, sparking the promise that defines the organisation today: Once you are part of Moore House, the door stays open forever.

This interview series features Dr Karen Treisman in conversation with Mrs Sheridan, exploring her life’s work and the story behind the creation of Moore House Group.

In this episode, Gary sits down with Marie, one of our service managers, to talk about a topic that often goes unspoken in social care: compassion fatigue.

When you’re constantly supporting others through challenging or traumatic experiences, it’s easy to forget the toll it can take on your own wellbeing.

Marie shares her insights on how compassion fatigue can show up in daily practice and the importance of recognising it early.

She also discusses the practical tools and supports Moore House Group puts in place, from reflective supervision and wellbeing check-ins to external professional services, all designed to help staff protect their emotional health and continue providing trauma-informed care.

In this special episode of Residential Insights, our CEO Stephen Drysdale sits down with Dr. Karen Treisman, following our recent two-day conference series: Behaviour is Communication and The Power of Language.

This conversation offers practical takeaways for anyone working in social care, education, residential settings, fostering, or trauma-informed practice.
