Young People in Transition 

Our Services

Independence Assistance Programme

Our Vision

At Salutem Care and Education, we believe that every young adult possesses the potential to lead an independent and fulfilling life. Transitioning from care to adulthood is a pivotal juncture, and our commitment lies in equipping these young adults with the essential skills to navigate this transition confidently. Through our guidance and unwavering support, we aim to ignite individual growth and enable personal development, ensuring a smooth transition from adolescence to adulthood.

 

Key Support, Every Step of the Way

Every individual under our care will be assigned a dedicated key support worker. This ensures a consistent, personalised approach to their journey towards independence. Our key support workers develop a rapport, understand individual aspirations, and tailor their support to meet the unique needs of each young adult. With a special focus on 16–17-year-old care leavers, our service is meticulously designed to cater to their specific challenges and aspirations.

From School to Work or Study

Our Independence Assistance Programme is an all-encompassing solution for individuals transitioning from care. It offers more than just support; it’s a pathway to skill development and self-reliance. From basic life skills, and financial literacy, to securing stable employment or pursuing higher education, our programme covers every facet of independence.

Supported Accommodation: A Stepping Stone to Independence

A significant aspect of our programme is the provision of supported accommodation. This environment serves as a safe space where young adults can practice their independence skills while still having access to support. Our accommodations are more than just a place to stay; they’re environments that support growth, self-discovery, and resilience. Within these settings, individuals can set and work towards their goals, gradually transitioning from care to complete self-sufficiency.

Partners with NASAP

We’re proud to be a partner of NASAP, which stands for the National Association of Supported Accommodation Partners. NASAP is the first official group in the country that’s fully recognised for supporting places where people live together with special help, as set out in The Supported Accommodation (England) Regulations 2023.

NASAP is all about people helping people. It’s not-for-profit, which means they’re not trying to make money; instead, they focus on helping others. They have members who lead the way, and together, they make sure everyone in the supported accommodation world gets the best care. They host a big yearly conference and have an online community where people share their best ideas and practices.
