SUPPORTED ACCOMMODATION WITH 24 HOUR STAFFING

 

We offer accommodation and support services for young people in preparation for the transition to independent living as an adult where we ensure that each person has the opportunity to grow, learn and develop- reaching their full potential.

Each individual is encouraged to develop appropriate life skills, whilst learning how to support themselves in their accommodation.

FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT

 

All of our young persons are given appropriate advice and assistance in claiming the benefits to which they are entitled. We help each person to develop their own budget plan to manage their income effectively and, as appropriate, support individuals in enhancing their income through a range of employment opportunities to minimise dependence on the benefits system.

 

ACCESSING ADDITIONAL SERVICES

Assistance is offered in accessing additional complementary services and support/guidance organisations, depending on each individual’s needs and wishes.

 

SAFEGUARDING

 

We have informed awareness that young people needing care and support are vulnerable individuals and therefore we have a ‘zero tolerance’ approach towards abuse. We also understand that apart from the main categories of abuse such as physical, emotional, sexual and neglect; we recognise that in this digital age young people are also at risk of online abuse including bullying & cyberbullying, child sexual exploitation, female genital mutilation, grooming, child trafficking, and also domestic abuse.

 

We therefore ensure that robust safeguarding policies and protocols that we employ in our daily work are followed to protect all young people from any form of abuse, neglect or improper treatment. We also have mandatory Safeguarding Training that is up to date and all staff members are familiar with the safeguarding policies and protocols.
