Semi-independent accommodation and support
Semi-independent accommodation and support
Our semi-independent home is more than just somewhere to live. The home aims to bridge the gap between childhood and adulthood so that a young person is prepared for the challenges of living independently.
Transition and life skills support for care leavers
Some young people refer to leaving care as ‘the instant expectation of adulthood’. They are suddenly expected to know how to cook their own meals, run a home and manage their finances, all in one go and without any support.
This is why living in a Havenvale semi-independent home before leaving care can be hugely beneficial. We provide safe, comfortable homes for care leavers, homeless teenagers and unaccompanied asylum-seeking children, where they can learn the essential life skills they will need when they transition to independent living.
Accommodation for young people on their path to independence
We offer accommodation with seven en-suite bedrooms.
However, no matter which one of our bedrooms a young person lives in, staff will always support our young people to work towards their goals and build their confidence for the future.
To maintain the standard of our home, we conduct annual inspections in line with Ofsted standards and ratings. This is unique to Havenvale and means we can offer better quality care, support, and housing because we have to answer to our Auditors.
For care leavers 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.
