Leaders in semi-independent accommodation and support for young people leaving care
Accommodation & Support for Care Leavers
Leaving Care Solutions is a leading provider of semi-independent accommodation and support for young people leaving care.
With over twenty years’ experience in providing support for care leavers and other disadvantaged teenagers, we have a demonstrable track record of providing high quality and flexible services for both care leavers and their commissioning local authority.
Our Placements
Our provisions include 24/7 staffed shared houses for multiple placements, including a female only unit, as well as a variety of standalone flats with floating support and bespoke placements. Our bespoke placements accommodate high risk, vulnerable and challenging young people with one to one support around the clock.
Shared Living
Young people placed within our shared houses are provided with a minimum of 5 hours professional support to achieve independence, according to their assessed needs.
Standalone
Standalone placements are for young people who might have previously lived in a shared house or received bespoke 24/7 one to one support, but are now part of a stepped down approach.
Individual Supported Living
We provide intensive 24/7 supported accommodation, which includes bespoke one to one support for particularly complex vulnerable young people.
UASC
When working with Unaccompanied Asylum Seeking Children (UASC), a specialised support package is put in place based on the individual needs of the young person.
“RN has come such a long way in his time with you and I think that is down to the approach and patience and flexibility demonstrated by all. RN has certainly been positive about his time with you and the support he has received and I think he now has the best chance he could have had as he transitions into life as an adult.”
Our Approach
LCS knows that every young person is different. We don’t believe in ‘one size fits all’. We understand that we need to earn trust and respect by being reliable, safe and having caring staff who you can get to young people gradually. We won’t assume how they feel – it’s up to them to tell us when the time is right.
We have a demonstrable track record of providing high quality and flexible services for both care leavers and their commissioning Local Authority. Our services are built around the needs of the young person, and the objectives of their responsible authority
