Post 16 Residential Support
Through our supported accommodation we offer a warm, nurturing and safe environment for young people and care leavers to grow and develop, preparing them for an independent, self-sufficient and full life post 25.
We believe that through providing a secure, stable home, personalised support and a clear supported pathway plan towards independence, we can help all our young people achieve their maximum potential.
With access to employment, education and training, plus mentoring and encouragement to develop a daily schedule including personal care, maintaining good diet, and making good lifestyle choices, our young people develop their own independent living skills.
The over-riding aim of the post 16 units is to support our young adults to take responsibility for their own actions and to gain the skills required for the transition to self-sufficiency in adulthood. Each provision will be staffed, adapted and maintained to support the specific needs of all our residents, which will include but not be limited to accommodation and support for:
- Looked after children, including separated children seeking asylum (SCSA) (16 to 25 years of age)
- Care leaver (16 – 25 years of age)
- Young people with complex needs (16 – 25 years of age)
- Young parents and children (16 to 25 years of age)
- Outreach support for young people and / or young parents – no accommodation required.
