We offer:

• a safe and welcoming environment
• a period of stability in the young person’s life as many of the young people we support find themselves in chaotic situations
• person-centred care provision
• support to make life choices and access to realistic, attainable accommodation
• a non-judgmental approach with each young person’s identity respected
• care plans which reflect the individuality and uniqueness of each person we support
• person-centred care plans, with the young person setting personal goals
• promotion and development of independent living skills
• maximising young people’s potential
• a key-worker to assist the young person to identify needs. The worker will facilitate multi-agency involvement to meet these needs

How do we achieve this?

• care provision is offered by an experienced team
• we continually strive to achieve best practice through monitoring and evaluating our service.
• team members have a wide knowledge base and are well trained in this field.
• we encourage positive relationships in partnership working. This provides a more comprehensive support package for people we support
• we empower young people with knowledge of external agencies
• challenge areas of social exclusion and encourage service users participation in gaining skills, knowledge and confidence required to facilitate inclusion
