Stepping Out have been providing quality semi independent living services for many years throughout London & Hertfordshire, partnering countless local authorities.
Our semi independent living projects, situated throughout Hertfordshire, are set within real houses, maintaining a homely feel. This is in stark contrast to larger, less welcoming facilities found throughout the social care system.
All of our projects are staffed up to 24 hours a day offering a high level, structured and supervised group living arrangement. The service users benefit from local enmities and close transport links. We ensure that all of our semi independent living projects are well maintained. Maintenance reports are relayed to our team of maintenance workers on a daily basis.
The provisions are ideal for those whom display challenging behaviour, Sexually Harmful Behaviour, Drug & alcohol abuse, self-harm, suicidal tendencies, learning disabilities, Autism and other high support need conditions.
Stepping Out also have vast experience in managing sexually harmful service users, those placed upon the MAPPA list, as well as Autistic clients. Stepping Out are one of the most experienced and respected service providers for challenging service users.
We provide support with:
- Maintaining a clean & safe living environment
- Food preparation
- Budgeting & Shopping
- Arranging and attending appointments & meetings
- Incident management
- Reflective daily reports
- And more.
Our projects are usually gender & age specific. This is to ensure the complete safety of our service users and staff and to encourage positive outcomes.
Bridging The Gap: Semi Independent Living In Hertfordshire
We understand that for most young people leaving care, the transition from care to full independence can be strenuous. Stepping Out can help bridge that gap by working with the young person to build on their strengths and abilities. Where necessary we provide specific move on placements.
Stepping Out work tirelessly to ensure our staff are trained and experienced before employment. We also put our staff through extra training and offer specialist support when a particularly challenging service user is placed. Our management team is on call 24-hours a day, and visit each semi independent living project on a daily basis.
