OUR SERVICES Semi-Independent Services
We are committed to protecting, safeguarding and caring for the vulnerable young people placed in our care. Every member of the Salvus Support team is dedicated to our young people’s welfare as well as their growth and development to help them readjust to life outside of our doors. We respect the Government’s Every Child Matters Agenda and each young person placed in our service has their own tailored care and support plan to help them stay safe, healthy and as happy as possible.
Accommodation for young people on their path to independence
The type of accommodation we offer varies depending on the young person. However, no matter which one of our supported housing services they live in, staff will always support young people to work towards their goals and build their confidence for the future.
All young people will be provided with a comfortable living space equipped with their very own television. We want our young people to feel at home; so they’ll be provided with an additional budget to personalise their space.
Our Aftercare team offer advice and support to help them on their journey to independence. Their drop-in service is available to any young person who wants to seek advice from staff on issues like managing tenancies, drug and alcohol awareness, or securing employment.
Rebuilding and Maintaining Important Relationships
Sometimes, young people need to rebuild their relationships with their parents, family or other carers and at Salvus Support we help them to do so. Where appropriate we actively encourage those in our care to maintain, improve and preserve their relationships. We also provide protective factors, where applicable, so that a young person can cope well in their community.
Preparing Young People for their Future
Our homes offer enjoyable settings where young people can progress, with the end goal of continuing their life independently. To that purpose, we help our young people develop or identify their interests, encourage enjoyment of learning and show them how to build meaningful relationships.
We want young people to be able to go back to their own families if appropriate. We will work with them, their families and the Local Authority to facilitate this in the best way possible, always using a person-centred and tailored approach. We also help many vulnerable young people move onto independent living when they are ready, equipping them with what they need to easily manage their day-to-day living needs and to thrive in the community.
Salvus Support provides young people with a nurturing and loving environment and our staff are genuinely passionate about delivering the best possible care and support within acceptable expectations while respecting boundaries. With our help, young people develop in all areas, physically, psychologically, intellectually and socially.
