## Description
Cheshire East Council aims to provide a Supported Lodging Accommodation Service, which
will be available to 16-17 year old cared for children and care leavers as defined by The
Children (Leaving Care) Act 2000. The service could also be utilised by former relevant care
leavers until the age of 25yrs with agreement from permanence and throughcare team’s
service manager. Care Leavers move towards independence at a pace that is right for them.
Care Leavers develop the skills and the confidence they need to maximise their chances of
successful maturity to adulthood. They receive the right level of practical, emotional and
financial support until they are at least 21, and, where necessary, until they are 25. Care
Leavers have accommodation that best meets their needs and helps them to develop their
independent skills safely.
Providers of accommodation and support services should therefore submit applications that
will meet the service needs and provide short and longer term accommodation and support
for young people within this age bracket and suitable to support a wide range of young
people to include those with learning and or physical disability, those with emotional and
behavioural problems, care leavers, asylum seekers and young people who are identified by
the council who are at risk of homelessness.
