Personalised Support Planning
When a resident joins Brightpath Housing Limited CIC, a dedicated Support Worker carries out an initial risk assessment to understand the resident’s circumstances and support needs.
A personalised support plan is then developed which sets short, medium and long-term goals designed to support the resident’s progression towards independent living.
Support plans are reviewed at least monthly to ensure progress is maintained and to identify any additional support requirements.
