OUR APPROACH

Our provisions include 24/7 staffed shared houses for multiple placements, as well as a variety of standalone flats with floating support and bespoke placements. Our bespoke placements accommodate high risk, vulnerable and challenging young people with one to one support, around the clock.

Our service model is based upon:
1. Thorough initial risk and needs assessments, to ensure appropriate matching
2. A strengths-based approach to gathering baseline data for measuring outcomes
3. Flexible support from experienced, qualified and consistent staff
4. A structured Preparation for Independence programme
5. Evidence-based assessment tools to monitor and report upon progress
6. Access to employment, education or training
7. A multi-agency approach for all young people, including Unaccompanied Asylum Seeking Children (UASC)
8. A clear pathway to post-18 housing and independence
9. Participation and co-production opportunities for all young people
10. Exit interviews, with Moving On Plans shared with the placing authority and Leaving Care teams
