Preparing for independence

At Inspire CS Group we believe that young people who are preparing for independence need additional help to increase their chances of being able to successfully live on their own or share with others. Inspire  provides an accredited independence programme, which supports care leavers to increase life skills social and emotional development, raising confidence and self esteem.

That’s why we have set up an Independence Training Programme which lasts 10 sessions – some of which are for either a half or full day in their home or at our training facility.

 

The programme Will Provide You With The Skills To

  • Maintain your tenancy
  • Manage your money
  • Maintain positive relationships
  • Keep yourself safe
  • Understand risks about misusing drugs, alcohol and dangerous substances
  • Look after your health
  • Understand the importance of living with others in the community
  • Respect and value yourself
  • Find and secure a place on a course or further education
  • Help you find and secure employment
 

Making Progress, Evidencing and Measuring Outcomes (Quality of our Support)
