Changing Lives
For The Better
Our goal is to improve the lives and futures of the children & young people in our care. Through personalised therapeutic care, we guide them towards independence.


We are Advocates for Society's Most Vulnerable
It is our mission to be the advocates of the vulnerable young people who often fall through the cracks of society by providing them with therapeutic care. We have been operating therapeutic focused care homes for over 14 years. Independence Development Ltd was founded in 2011 by Dr Olyedemi, our clinical director, who identified there was a lack of availability in specialised therapeutic care
We now provide tailored therapeutic residential care for a range of young people in Kent. Our care is delivered by a multidisciplinary team led by our Clinical Director, Dr Olyedemi who has an extensive background working with children, young people and adults.
We Provide Therapeutic Residential Care
At Independence Development Ltd, we provide a seamless pathway of care that nurtures the journey of our service users, starting from the age of 11 as they mature into independent adults. Our holistic approach ensures that every young people receives the tailored support they need at each stage of their development.
We have an inclusive admissions criteria and go above and beyond to ensure our young people are in an environment in which they can thrive and grow.
