Floating support

Consulting

Support for as long as it's needed

We provide a level of temporary support to a range of young people. When the support is no longer required, it 'floats off' to another person who needs it. If a person needs support again it can return to them.

Some of our specialist floating support includes:

Family Floating Support pilot

CAYSH has been piloting a Family Floating Support Service since September 2008.The objective is to enable the young person to develop life skills and improve communication within the family. More information is found in the Family and Community Services section.

Youth Offending Team (YOT)
Since 2002, CAYSH has provided a floating support service for young offenders facing homelessness. Working closely with the local Youth Offenders Team (YOT), CAYSH’s support worker is based at both CAYSH and YOT offices.This ensures a continuity of support, even when a young person’s accommodation can change from day to day.

Young Adults Support Services (YOSS)
CAYSH recognises that some young people will require support even when they have moved into independent accommodation. We provide this intensive support for challenging and vulnerable young people.This ongoing service is not time-limited and is available as long as required.
