What We Do
Every day in the UK a huge number of children are placed into care. This creates difficulties for Children Services to find appropriate long term placements which meet the individuals childs needs, which can often leave the child without a placement and at risk. Safe Point attempt to bridge this gap by providing great quality short term placements.
Our respite service provides young people with a break to develop their communication skills and regulate their behaviours before obtaining a long-term placement. It will support local authorities who are under pressure to find placements for service users who need an immediate solution.
We can provide residential, outdoor and activity-based programmes for up to 28 days with a 2:1 staffing ratio. We also provide a service for post 16 provisions, this will assist young people to develop independence for the transition to adult life.
