Independent Living
Schools, colleges and other post-16 providers include a particular focus on housing options and provide young people and their families the tools and resources they need to fully understand what is available. This could include mock applications for housing register and housing benefit as well as support to research the housing options in their own area. Young people are encouraged to think about who they would like to live with. This is particularly important for young people who are in out of area provision, should they wish to return to their local area.
