It is anticipated that young people will be supported in shared/independent accommodation for a period of six months to a maximum of twenty four months. During this period the practical and other skills will also be reinforced and new skills acquired to help the young person make effective use of leisure time, accept responsibility for their own actions, develop ethnic, religious/cultural and community awareness.
Target dates for young people to have achieved specific competencies in areas identified will be incorporated into their pathway and care plans. |
