Supported Accommodation for Young People Dynamic Purchasing System

Supported accommodation is a key service that plays a pivotal role in the care system for young people. It provides accommodation and support services to young people in care aged 16 and 17 years old. The service is required to provide support according to the needs of the young people. It is flexible and mutually agreed. We work in partnership with other agencies. It enables young people to become more independent while living in the service by developing the knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviours needed to sustain independent living. This prepares them for a smooth and successful transition to adulthood. The service is required to build resilience and strength in young people’s skills to live in the community. It ensures that young people are fully involved in the planning and delivery of their care plans moving forward.
