About Us

Here at Rainbow Trust Children's Charity 7, we provide home care support to children and young people across Colchester and the surrounding areas of Essex. We work with families whose children have a range of needs, including learning disabilities, autism, physical disabilities, and visual or hearing impairments, and we tailor the support we offer to fit around each child and their family rather than asking families to fit around us.

We know that having someone come into your home to support your child is a significant thing, and we do not take that trust lightly. Getting to know each child properly takes time, and we make sure our team builds genuine, consistent relationships so that children feel comfortable and families feel confident in the support being provided. We work closely with parents and carers at every stage, making sure they are always kept informed and involved in decisions about their child's care.

Our team is experienced in working with children who have complex needs, and we are committed to making sure every child we support has the opportunity to take part in daily life in a way that feels meaningful to them. Whether that is support with personal care, help getting out into the community, or simply being there so a parent can take a breath and know their child is in safe hands, we try to make a real and practical difference to family life.

We are proud that our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission resulted in an overall rating of good, and we see that as a reflection of the consistent, thoughtful approach our team brings to their work every day.

If you would like to find out more about how we might be able to support your family, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us here in Colchester.

More about the care at Rainbow Trust Children's Charity 7

What each type of care involves, and the questions worth asking when you call or visit.

Learning Disability / Autism

Children with learning disabilities or autism often do best when support is genuinely person centred, built around familiar routines and mindful of sensory needs. Rainbow Trust Children's Charity 7 is registered to work with this group, usually through a care and support plan agreed with Essex County Council and reviewed at least annually. Ask how the agency gathers a child's preferences, communication style and triggers, and how it feeds into education, health and care plan reviews.

Physical Disability

Physical disability support at home can cover moving and handling, help with personal care, and encouragement of the small independence skills a child is working towards. This provider is registered for physical disability care for children in Colchester and the surrounding area. Families should ask what equipment they will need in place before visits start, such as hoists or profiling beds, and how workers are briefed on any adaptations already fitted at home.

Visual / Hearing Impairment

Sight and hearing needs shape how a worker should speak, position themselves and use light, signage or loop systems in the home. Rainbow Trust Children's Charity 7 is registered to support children with visual or hearing impairment alongside their other needs. Its CQC rating of good, from an August 2018 inspection, gives a useful starting point. Ask how staff adapt communication, whether they are comfortable with BSL, Makaton or a child's own signs, and how they work with sensory support teachers.
