Semi-Independent Accommodation Framework

The London Borough of Sutton Children's Trust Board has set a vision for all:

"Children and young people in Sutton to be happy, safe and healthy within resilient families and for them to grow up with the skills, knowledge and attributes they will need to be confident, independent and ready for adult life."

As Corporate Parent, Sutton Council needs to ensure children and young people are safe, happy and have the best possible outcomes, as any other parent would look to provide for their child.

For some of our young people a semi-independent placement provides the opportunity to develop independent living skills and achieve outcomes, while also receiving the support required.

Sutton Council is committed to ensuring that when a Semi-Independent Placement is required, young people have a wide range of options to meet their needs and are only accessing the highest quality services.

To meet this commitment, Sutton Council is developing a framework agreement, and is inviting Semi-independent Accommodation providers to join this agreement.

This framework will provide placements for looked after children (over the age of 16 years) and care leavers.
