Statement of Services

At Young Person's Centered Care, we specialise in providing a range of supported accommodation and supported living services for semi-independent Looked After Children from the age of 16+.

Accommodation

Living in our supported accommodations allows our young people to have a space they can call their own. It is a space where they feel safe and are assured by the fact that support is close by and easily accessible when they require it.

Every effort is made to create a warm and homely environment in all our accommodations. We strongly believe that supported accommodations, need not look and feel institutional. All our young people are encouraged to personalise their rooms by gradually buying items which they will take with them when they move on. We want them to feel at home.

Why we are different from others

Our highly experienced Keyworkers provide positive role models and support our young people to develop practical skills they need to look after themselves when they move on to live on their own. We provide 24hours on call/out of office support to our young people. No matter which one of our supported accommodations they live in, staff will always support our young people to work towards their goals and build their confidence for their future.

Our support packages include help with accommodation, housing applications, preparing meals, resilience building as well as supporting them to find employment, training, and further education. We act as an advocate providing guidance and signposting them to relevant networks/agencies. We also provide in house training/workshops on Raising aspirations, increasing their self-confidence via groupwork as well as equipping them to build their resilience and recognising triggers.

#WHO WE HELP:
