Solid Care Solutions Ltd., based in Gloucestershire, provides semi-independent supported living accommodation for looked after young people and care leavers aged 16 – 18yrs old, which can be extended past 18 if required. Our objective is to provide a ‘stepping-stone’ between care and the move on to total independence.
The service promotes safety, emotional well-being, community integration and appropriate self-determination. We aim to provide a service that enables the young person to, as far as possible, experience what they will encounter when living fully Independently.
We offer a wraparound service to young people with medium to high support needs, who may require additional support in relation to mental health, emotional difficulties, behavioural management, Substance misuse, self-care, independence skills and integration into the community.
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.
Our goal is to provide our service users with placement stability, which in turn is a critical success factor in relation to better outcomes for looking after young people and those making the transition from care.
Our Management System documentation, SC-MAN-01, describes our detailed arrangements to fulfil our purpose and is available on request.
