Ascension Social Care WHO WE SUPPORT

• We provide supported accommodation for looked-after children and care leavers aged 16+ who have relatively high or increasing levels of independence, who are ready to gain further skills to prepare for adult living, and who do not need the degree of care or type of environment provided in a children’s home or foster care. For young people ready for it, high-quality supported accommodation that provides a nurturing and protective environment can be a place where they can thrive and prepare for greater independence. Within this remit, we consider placements of young people with diverse needs including:
  - Autistic spectrum disorder
  - Attachment Disorder
  - Attention Deficit Disorder
  - Mental health issues
  - Challenging behaviour
  - Drug and alcohol abuse
  - Self-harming behaviours
  - Gang involvement
  - Criminal behaviour
