Children Support Services

Semi-Independent accommodation

RCSS provides semi-independent accommodation and support services for young people between 16-18-year-olds including those with additional needs. Our support and guidance do not end when our young people transition into adulthood. We monitor the progress of our young people through to adulthood and will always be a shoulder to lean on. We continue to provide support and counselling to those that have been provided with a service if required.

We provide high-quality semi-independent accommodation which is perfect for individuals who need support before they are ready to embark on their journey of independence. We seek to produce indispensable services tailored to meet individual care and support needs that will help in transitioning towards their independence.

We believe that our young people should be supported to achieve their goals specifically in relation to education and employment if they are to live sustainable lives. We support our young people around their educational needs and have links with local schools and colleges.

Temporary emergency accommodation for children & young people

RCSS provide emergency accommodation for children and young people until a permanent home is found. While children and young people are in our care, we provide individualised care package tailored to suit the needs of the child or young person.

We aimed to provide holistic approach to meet the needs of every child or young person regardless of the time frame as long as child or young person is in our care.

Providing bespoke weekend and weekday supervised family contact services

RCSS provide supervised family contacts during weekdays and at weekends, welfare visits to families and children who are open to Local Authorities, including direct work with children and families.

In RCSS, we take pride in maintaining our weekend contact services. This is because our belief is that children and families should be given the opportunity to have contact outside school and workdays when the child/ren is not taken out of their valuable school time. Weekend contacts have been evidenced to be natural and more interactive between the parent and child.

Training for alleged perpetrators of domestic violence

RCSS provides training programmes and direct work for alleged perpetrators of domestic violence, resolving disputes/conflicts etc. applying different models and liaising with other professionals for collaborative working.

We provide family support workers to work with children within their home environment and in the community who have experienced domestic violence adopting a multi-disciplinary approach to support the family.
