Help to find accommodation
Taking your next step after care can bring lots of different feelings, and that is okay. We are here to support you and help you understand your options.
Our aim is to:
-
Make sure you’ve got the information you need, choices to think about, and a say in the decisions that matter to you
-
Help you find a place to live that suits you, and to support you as you settle in and maintain your tenancy
-
Offer support that fits around you and your needs, wherever you’re living
-
Help you build confidence with money, bills and everyday living
-
Work alongside you to make sure you always have somewhere safe and secure to call home, so you don’t have to face homelessness
If you’d like to know more about how Wokingham Borough Council supports care leavers, you can take a look at the Wokingham’s Joint Housing Protocol (PDF). Please note that the protocol is currently being reviewed and will be published here later in the year.
On the pages that follow, we’ve pulled together the key things you need to know about your accommodation options to help you feel informed, supported and ready for what comes next.
Joint Housing Protocol
The Joint Housing Protocol sets out how Children’s Services and Housing, as well as other parts of the Council, will work together as corporate parents to ensure that young people who leave care have the housing and the support they need to live successfully as young adults.
