Education & Independent Living Skills
Supporting progress and independence
We help young people develop the knowledge, practical skills and confidence they need to make progress towards adulthood and greater independence. Support is tailored to each young person’s circumstances, abilities and aspirations.
Bespoke Independent Living Skills Programme
Our bespoke and targeted independent living skills programme is designed specifically for young people in care and those preparing to move towards independence.
Each young person receives support based on their individual needs, goals and stage of development. Progress is reviewed regularly so that the programme can adapt as their confidence, abilities and circumstances change.
Areas of support may include:
- Managing money, budgeting and understanding household bills
- Shopping, preparing meals and maintaining a healthy lifestyle
- Keeping a clean, safe and well-maintained home
- Accessing education, training and employment opportunities
- Developing communication, confidence and decision-making skills
- Building healthy relationships and positive support networks
- Accessing community services and attending appointments
- Understanding personal safety and managing risk
- Preparing for future accommodation and independent living
Support is delivered at a pace appropriate to each young person, with achievements recognised through their individual progress and growing independence.
