Service Vision
Our ambition for the young people in our service is that:
- Young people receive the right help at the right time.
- Young people receive a service that is personalised to their needs, from a service offer which is consistent across the county.
- Young people who access our services go on to experience a bright and fulfilling future, free from the risk of homelessness.
Our ambition for the service is that, from the first point of contact with a young person who is experiencing homelessness/at risk of homelessness, everyone working in this service area sees the potential in that young person and plays their part in shifting that young person from a point of crisis, to give them hope for the future.
