Our client group also includes Unaccompanied Asylum Seeking Young People (16-18) supporting them to integrate into mainstream society. We also provide support for parent and baby to enable assessments to be completed within a safe and supported environment.

Support model

We involve the young person and those who know them well in the design and delivery of their support, and place each young person at the centre of decision-making. We use Person-Centred Active Support so that each individual is actively encouraged and enabled to take part in activities and is able to grow and develop their skills and independence. Robust support plans are outcome-focused so that people progress to meet their short, medium and longer term goals. Young people benefit from a Key Worker who regularly reviews their support.

We adapt support to each young person’s daily activities, be that school, college, training or employment. We can provide additional support in the mornings, evenings and at weekends to enable each person to lead a full and varied life. If needed, we can provide continuity of support to young people through to our adult provision.
