The Vision

The Vision

Our vision is to influence national progression towards a step change in the design, development and delivery of specialist resettlement support services for young custody leavers.

Our intention is to help strengthen the essential local foundation stones - beginning with age appropriate accommodation provision and matching support - from which young custody leavers are able to access community based personal development opportunities capable of transforming their long-term outcomes.

The Leaving Care - Leaving Custody Campaign directs the focus of change towards local authorities and their duties towards young people returning from custody to the community.

Critical Outcomes

Resettlement UK aims to assist local authorities in fulfilling their statutory responsibilities by delivering the following outcomes:

  1. Increased awareness of the resettlement needs of young custody leavers
  2. Improved local resettlement strategies and infra-structure to meet those requirements
  3. Age appropriate resettlement support services

These outcomes are achieved through the development of local multi-agency policy and practice and the delivery of specialist learning and development products which increase resettlement knowledge and understanding.
