Our Transition Planning and Aftercare Support ensures that every child who leaves us makes the smoothest possible transition into adulthood.

Our approach includes:

• Developing transition plans as early as possible
• Collaborating with social workers, families, and housing teams
• Identifying future goals, aspirations, and life skills needs

Each child receives:

• 1:1 coaching in budgeting, shopping, cooking, and self-care
• Support in understanding tenancy, benefits, and employment
• Emotional regulation strategies for coping with change
• Help with accessing supported living, education, or apprenticeships

Our structured independence workbooks and tasks build a child’s confidence and competence in numerous ways. As their exit draws closer, they’re given gradual exposure to new environments, supported visits, and familiarisation sessions. Aftercare is available after they walk out the door, too. We maintain positive, ongoing relationships with former residents. They know they can call us, visit us, or check in whenever they need to.

Our aim is to:

• Empower children to live independently
• Minimise the risk of placement breakdown or homelessness
• Help them build sustainable, connected futures

Every child deserves supportive guidance as they take a step forward. We are there to walk with them and to stay in touch as they find their way.

Individualised Care Plans

Every child has an individualised care plan developed in partnership with their key worker, family, and professional network. Daily life at Above and Beyond balances therapeutic support with structure and routine.

This includes:

• 1:1 therapeutic keywork sessions
• Access to formal or informal education
• Recreational, cultural, and skill-building activities
• Emotional regulation and independence coaching

We know healing happens through relationships. That’s why consistency, trust, and empathy are embedded into our daily care.

Above and Beyond is committed to:

• Providing a safe, homely environment
• Supporting emotional recovery and personal growth
• Preparing children for brighter, more independent futures
