Dr Karen Treisman in conversation with Mrs Sheridan | Episode 5: How Moore House Grew

In this episode, Mrs Sheridan shares the story of how Moore House Group has grown from its beginnings in 1988 to the organisation it is today, always led by one thing: the needs of children and young people.From setting up a non-profit fostering agency in the early 90s to creating the Virtual Academy during COVID-19, every new service came from recognising a gap in support and finding a way to meet it.Mrs Sheridan talks openly about some of the moments that shaped Moore House, including the early Through Care model, the development of a dedicated Psychological Services team to better support staff and young people, and the creation of the In-Touch service, offering ongoing support long after young people leave our care.We also hear about opening a new academy in Dunkeld with just six months’ notice to support neurodiverse learners, and the thinking behind the upcoming Abercorn Clinic, created in response to the growing need for ADHD and autism assessments.A warm and honest conversation about leadership, listening, and building services around what young people actually need.
