Dewi Jones Unit

Picture


The Dewi Jones Unit is an inpatient mental health facility for children and young people aged 5 – 14. 
It is part of Alder Hey but is located offsite in Waterloo. 
The unit offers a highly specialised service for the assessment and treatment of severe and complex mental health disorders in children.
Teachers are an integral part of the unit team, involved at all stages of patients’ admissions from referral to discharge, and work closely with medical staff to support patients to access education. 
The classroom provides a welcoming learning environment where, working within the national curriculum framework, children are taught in small groups or individually, as appropriate. 
Educational targets are tailored to children's specific needs and abilities.
