Our Placements
Support settings that flex around need, safety and readiness.
From staffed shared living to more independent support and bespoke one-to-one packages, RCS wraps care-led planning around each 16-19-year-old care leaver and their responsible authority.
Placement Matching
A support setting should feel safe, suitable and chosen with care.
Matching considers known risks, peer dynamics, practical support needs, location, culture and the young person’s own views. When needs change, support can increase, reduce or shift into a new pathway.
More independent settings
Standalone Support
Standalone Support helps care leavers practise independence without being left to manage alone. RCS staff provide planned visits, practical coaching and responsive contact around budgeting, home care, appointments, safer relationships and routines that make the next move feel less overwhelming.
Bespoke one-to-one support
Individual Supported Living
Individual Supported Living is built around the young person, not a fixed model. RCS develops bespoke staffing, daily routines and risk plans so 16-19-year-old care leavers can stabilise, reconnect with services and experience support that is calm, boundaried and consistent.
Specialist transition support
UASC
For UASC placements, RCS focuses on safety, orientation, health, education, interpreters where needed and trusted community connection. Staff help each young person understand their rights, settle into daily routines and feel more secure day by day.
Urgent Support
Responsive care when circumstances change quickly.
Young people can need accommodation at short notice after a breakdown, release from custody, exploitation risk, safety concern or urgent UASC referral. RCS works with the local authority to identify the safest available route and the right support intensity.
