Support can cover a wide range of areas, from specialised to general. With LEAP the support you will gain is based on helping young people to live more independently. Here are a few of the areas that we can offer support:

How will we support you?

You will have a named Support Worker. This is one member of staff who will work with you to plan your support and will see you on a regular basis.

Any member of the team can deliver the support you have discussed with your Support Worker, you can come to the office to get support or you can talk to a Support Worker when they visit you at home.

If you need extra support that LEAP cannot provide, this will be discussed with you and we will try to get the right person to support you with these things.

What is a support plan? Support

When it has been agreed what support you require it will be written down in a support plan. Your support plan tells staff how you want to be supported and what you need to live your life in a safe and fulfilling way.

Your support plan will identify all of the skills you need to learn to enable you to live independently in the future, and when you are ready will help to plan your move on. If you are living in your own accommodation and receiving floating support, your support plan will identify areas that you need to develop to enable you to sustain your tenancy so that you do not become homeless again in the future.

Your Support Worker will review your support plan on a regular basis and at least every six months there will be a full review. If you feel something has changed during this time, you can ask for a support plan review at any time.

If you are working closely with another agency, such as NCH or Connexions you can ask for them to be present at your support plan reviews.
