SEMI INDEPENDENT LIVING
Young people in and leaving care often need additional support before being ready to live independently.
We provide a range of semi-independent living (SIL) services for young people in and leaving care including young parents and their children and Unaccompanied Asylum Seeking Children (UASC). Our SIL services operate on a spot purchase basis enabling us to work with any local authority to provide suitable support and accommodation to a young person aged 16-21.
​
These services are flexible to adapt to a young person’s changing support needs and we can offer a range of flexible support packages. Our teams work closely with the young person’s social worker or personal advisor to ensure that we are supporting local authorities with their corporate parenting responsibility.
​
We have a trauma-informed and person-centred approach to support and encourage young people to co-produce our services from planning activities to defining service agreements to choosing curtain colours.
