This course explores how to design and implement support plans that genuinely prepare young people for independent living. Rooted in regulatory guidance and best practice, the training helps staff understand the balance between support and autonomy, and how to engage young people in their own development. Through case studies, tools, and group discussion, staff will build confidence in assessing needs, setting goals, and tracking progress in key independence areas such as life skills, relationships, education, and self-care. The course also considers the challenges of risk, capacity, and motivation, providing practical strategies to overcome barriers and promote long-term success.
