Specialist Accommodation for Young Offenders

Throughout its existence, Stepping Out has continued to excel in their work with young offenders, utilizing specialist accommodation for young offenders from across London and beyond. Our dedicated support provisions are also known as semi-independent living provisions.

We have semi independent provisions in Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and across the various boroughs which help to make up North London.

Stepping Out are trusted by many local authorities to produce outcome focussed work around some of the most high risk clients in the country. Our expertise stretches from MAPPA cases, to specialist youth rehabilitation orders and even Intensive support and supervision programmes (ISSP).

Why Stepping Out?

We understand that youth offending teams (YOT’s) can experience difficulties in obtaining full time education for this group, especially if they have been permanently excluded or out of education for a long time. That’s where Stepping Out can help.

Naturally, the relevant local authority must provide suitable full-time education for all permanently excluded young people. This would be between 21 and 25 hours a week depending on their age. If they are statemented it should be the number of hours specified on the statement.

Stepping Out has built positive relationships with local training providers and is able to source education and training, however some high risk clients may not be able to gain access to mainstream providers. To combat this Stepping Out is also a City & Guilds regulated training provider offering in-house education and training to young offenders.

More than Just Accommodation for Young Offenders

Although youth offender accommodation is one of our primary services, local authorities, youth offending teams and other bodies will be glad to hear that we also provide a number of other semi-independent living based solutions for a wide range of client types.
