Transitions Supported Living based in Gloucestershire, provides accommodation and support for children in care and care leavers aged 16+ (can be extended past 18 to accommodate a planned transition to independent living).
Our objective is to provide a smooth journey through care to full independence. The service promotes physical, spiritual, mental, and emotional well-being, community integration and appropriate self-determination. We aim to provide a service that offers the young person continuity of care and support, with the right accommodation and support at the right time. Transitions facilities will enable the young person to navigate their care journey with us from 16+.
Transitions offer a wraparound service to young people with medium to high support needs, who may require additional support in relation to:
- Mental health
- Substance misuse
- Emotional and behavioural difficulties
- Self care and independence skills
- Education, employment and training
- Community integration
At Transitions we aim to support local authorities in their duty to safeguard & promote the welfare of young people looked after and leaving care, by providing sufficient accommodation that meets the needs of looked after young people, thus ensuring improved outcomes for this vulnerable group. Transitions share the vision of:
Right Placement > Right Place > Right Time
We share the belief that this is a vital factor in improving placement stability, which in turn is a critical success factor in relation to better outcomes for looked after young people and those making the transition from care.
