Foster Placement Transitional Support: Foster placements provide a robust, stable environment for children and young people, but often do not adequately develop young peoples skills enough for successful independent living. Inicio can work in partnership with Foster Carers and young people in being able to deliver specific workshops based around life skills management to successfully equip young people with the necessary tools to transition on from a foster placement into their own living environment.
Supported Lodgings: Inicio is able to recruit, assess and support supported lodgings hosts across the region.Supported lodgings are available to young people aged 16+ who would live with a family or individual who has a spare room and is willing to provide informal guidance and practical assistance to the young person who, otherwise, lives independently. The Supported Lodgings Host does not have parental responsibility for the young person.
