Goresbrook Livings offers robust support to enable almost integrated transition of young people from residential and fostering services to a more relaxed independent life-style. As a result, we have developed mechanism and strategies aimed to provide the following:

• Supported living for Looked-After Children aged 16 and above.

• Young people with safe and secure accommodation and the necessary support required for maintenance.

• Stability, structure and regular supervision.

• Diverse individually tailored packages of support and care to young people. Each package focusing on meeting identified needs within agreed targets and timescales.

• Consistent and all-inclusive approach to working with young people who may display disruptive, difficult, challenging and inappropriate behavior.

• Promote, develop and create opportunities for young people to progress and learn appropriate life / social skills in preparation for the transition to adulthood and independent living.

• Liaise closely with referring agencies in providing a professional multi-disciplinary system of care, support and management.

• Provide a high standard of care within the framework of Goresbrook Livings Equal Opportunity Policy.

• Create an environment that is non-institutional and that, which is able to work with the diverse complexities of needs which young people may present.
