Small Supports
- Our Small Supports
Every Small Support with a Touch of Compassion.
Staffing
Staff are recruited by and around the individual, rather than being part of a generic, revolving roster.
Person-Centred
The focus is entirely on the person’s aspirations, choices, and needs regarding how and where they live.
Control
The process starts with the individual and their family, ensuring they have maximum control over their own lives and care planning.
Community Focused
Services are rooted in the local community, building natural links around the individual, including in recruitment.
Practice Focus
Remaining committed to person-centred practices, rather than applying standardised, rigid procedures from a larger organisation.
Staying Small
Organisations do not grow by more than 3-5 people per year, allowing staff at all levels to know the individual well.
Choice
Individuals have ownership or tenancy of their own homes and choose who they live with.
Funding
Access to flexible, individual budgets that account for fluctuations in need, transitions, and contingency planning.
Adaptability
The support is flexible and changes as the person's needs change, working in partnership to overcome challenges rather than withdrawing support.
