"Devise a bespoke and realistic support plan from the outset"

All individuals within this service have a designated Support Worker who works with them to devise a bespoke and realistic support plan from the outset. The tailored support plan will detail how targets will be achieved by the Service User, whilst drawing attention to the resettlement process and addressing the potential move-on opportunities available.
