Brushling Floating Support Service

Aims of the service

The aim of the service is to work with you to resolve any current and ongoing issues that are preventing you from successfully maintaining your tenancy.

The purpose is to promote your independence by giving you the skills to deal confidently with these problems. We hope that you will then have the ability to tackle any future difficulties independently.  

 

Who can access this service?

Teenage Parents and Young People aged 16–25 who live in the Broxtowe, Rushcliffe, Gedling and Ashfield areas.

 

How to access the service

If you feel you meet the criteria, you can be referred through various agencies or you can make a self-referral.  Please contact us on 0115 9887396 for our referral forms or any questions you may have.

 

Where will the support be delivered?

Support is generally provided in your home although you may agree to meet at our offices or other location in your community. 

 

How we will work with you?

You and your support worker will identify the areas you would like to work on by completing a support plan. We will do this by agreeing the goals  you would like to achieve and the actions which will help you to do this. The support plan will be reviewed regularly to discuss your progress and plan any future aims.

As part of the support we will work  in partnership with other agencies.

 

How long will the support last?

The support can last for up to 2 years but often people are ready for independent living before this time.

 

What support will be offered?

• Help with claiming benefits, and filling in forms.
• Advice with budgeting/debts and rent/council arrears.
• Access to parenting skills.
• Support to identify education, training and employment opportunities.
• Advocacy on your behalf and advice on how to access other support services in your area e.g. child care.
• Access to health advice.
• Help to settle disputes if you are having difficulties with neighbours.
• Any other support that will enable you to keep your tenancy.
