We provide a range of extensive services and respond to service users who are at a cruical stage in their lives and would benefit from intervention from skilled and experienced key workers.

We also offer support to service users who have experienced the multiple breakdown of previous fostering or residential placements and work with them to enable them to move on to more appropriate alternatives.  The focus of our semi-independent living schemes will be to involve service users to shape their own lives in order to achieve full independence.

From the point of admission, our staff will start to build a more comprehensive picture of the service user needs.  In order to establish a clearer assessment of the service user needs we adopt a multi-disciplinary approach and endeavour to work closely with education, health professionals, child development specialists and relevant Youth Offending Services (YOS).

Allison Lodge aims to encourage its entire service users to complete their life and social skills assessment within a reasonable timescale. We do not move service users on who have not achieved a reasonable level of independance. We aim to actively promote service user’s general welfare, protect them from harm and treat them with dignity and respect.  We will achieve positive outcomes through an intensive support programme, with specific involvement of the service user.
