Semi-Independent Placements
BFSWS offers flexible and personalised shared-living experiences for young individuals, complemented by therapeutic support. In our semi-independent residences, we extend support to young individuals by prioritising investment in our staff and dedicated efforts to create an exceptional service for them. Each of our 24/7 staffed homes is equipped with a core team, including a Manager, Team Leader, and Support Workers. This structure is implemented to maintain a consistently high standard of service. Additionally, we extend outreach services to support young people who have their own accommodation.
