Supported Provisions

The Outcomes Star

At Excel we offer supported / semi-independent provisions for young people aged 16-18.

 

This bespoke service is clinically informed and where appropriate/agreed we can offer clinical assessments and induvial therapy to best support the emotional and psychological needs of our young people.

 

All of our young people have access to staff 24/7 with a
member of the team always being in the home.

 

We can take referrals directly for this provision in addition to also being able to transition our children and young people from our registered children’s home into our supported living accommodation.

The Young Person's Star

The Young Person’s Star has been designed for young people moving to independent living. It is suitable for young care leavers, those leaving young offender institutions and other young people experiencing homelessness or transition. It can be seen as a young person’s version of the Homelessness Outcomes Star.


The Young Person’s Star was initiated by 1625 Independent People in Bristol and piloted for over a year within their services and by Coram in London. Newham Borough Council collaborated in the final stage of the development to enable us to publish the finished product. Further testing was carried out by the Shelter Trust in Jersey.


The Young Person’s Star covers eight outcome areas that are key for young people moving into independent living:

Accomodation

People & Support

How You Feel

Money & Rent

Work & Learning

Health

Choices & Behaviour

Practical Life Skills

More information can be found here outcomesstar.org.uk We have chosen the Outcomes Star because it is a robust method of measuring outcomes and will support and improve our direct work with our young people.

 

Its advantages include:

  • It is validated and robustly tested, so we can be confident of its quality

  • It will allow us to get an accurate sense of change in the young people we work with and across our service as a whole

  • It covers a range of relevant outcome areas supporting us to work holistically and in a person-centric way

  • It is easy to use and will help structure our key work within a consistent framework and support more targeted, effective action planning
