Individualised Support

Every young person at C4U Homes has a support plan built specifically around them — not a template, not a generic package.

Person-Centred Approach

Support that starts with the individual

We believe no two young people are the same. Each person arrives with their own history, strengths, vulnerabilities, and aspirations. Our individualised support model means we start by listening — to the young person, to their social worker, and to anyone else who knows them.

From day one, every resident is assigned a dedicated keyworker who is their primary point of contact, their advocate, and the person responsible for delivering their support plan.

What individualised support includes

Keyworker sessions

Weekly 1:1 sessions with a named keyworker to review wellbeing, progress against the support plan, and any emerging concerns.

Support planning

A bespoke written support plan developed with the young person within the first two weeks. Plans are reviewed monthly.

Pathway plan alignment

We work closely with the young person's local authority to ensure our support plan is consistent with their statutory Pathway Plan.

Crisis & risk management

Individual risk assessments updated regularly. Clear protocols for managing crises, missing episodes, and escalation. 24/7 on-call support.

Areas of support we address

  • Emotional wellbeing — building trust, managing feelings, addressing trauma responses
  • Mental health — signposting to CAMHS, counselling and peer support
  • Physical health — GP registration, dental and optician access, healthy living
  • Education & training — engagement with school, college, or apprenticeship
  • Employment — CV writing, interview preparation, work experience
  • Relationships — healthy relationships, family contact, peer connections
  • Identity & culture — respecting and celebrating each young person's background
  • Legal & financial — benefits entitlements, banking, legal rights as a care leaver
  • Housing transition — preparing for independent tenancy when the time is right

Trauma-informed practice

Our staff are trained in trauma-informed approaches. We create environments and relationships that prioritise safety, choice, and trust — recognising that behaviour is often communication, and that a young person's past does not define their potential.
