Who we are?
Step By Step Community Care is a provider of services for young people aged between 16 and 18 years old. Our primary aim is to offer and deliver tailored semi-independent and therapeutic supported accommodation for young people to enable them to progress towards independent living and adulthood. We work with young people who are looked after by the Local Authority who are ready to move out of their residential placements or foster homes. We also support looked after children in response to a crisis to ensure that young people are safe, feel secure, understood and a part of a professional family.
Our trauma informed key workers and therapeutic consultants specialise in engaging with young people at risk of:
- Gang affiliation
- Criminality
- Child Sexual Exploitation
- County lines
- Missing Episodes
Being part of their journey, Step By Step Community Care provides holistic support and guidance to vulnerable young people, helping them to acquire independent living skills and make informed choices to become successful young adults as they progress in their life.
Safeguarding
We are committed to ensuring that children and young adults who use our services are protected from all forms of harm and abuse. It is our responsibility to promote the welfare of all children and young people and to keep them safe.
Multi-agency working is key to effective safeguarding and child protection. We are committed to working in partnership with young people, families and their professional network to gain a full overview of a young person's situation and have a co-ordinated approach to support.
Our Values
Our values are based on the principles of "Every Child Matters":
- We will support and encourage young people to use health services and engage with professionals.
- We will support and encourage young people to manage risk and stay safe and be able to express their concerns and worries in a safe space.
- We will help young people to create positive memories through their engagement of activities and experiences. We will support young people to make a positive contribution within their local communities, families and places they reside and be seen as more than just a young person.
- We will support young people to understand the economics of life and independence to achieve economic wellbeing and social independence.
