Consultation on draft standards for supported lodgings for young adults (aged 16-21) in Northern Ireland
Consultation opened on 13 November 2014. Closing date 30 January 2015.
Summary
Supported lodgings aim to provide young people with safe, suitable and supportive places to live within a local familial type environment. The standards will set a benchmark to be used by current and future supported lodgings service providers to ensure the provision of high quality social care and housing support. They will also be used by the Regulation and Quality Improvement Authority in their inspection of the supported lodgings service during a two year pilot and will be reviewed and amended as necessary on completion of the pilot.
