ROC Solid
Our multi award-winning supported housing charity empowers people to achieve a better quality of life in safe environments.
Since 2007 we have worked closely with a wide range of professional and community partners to provide person-centred services, supporting people to achieve their goals and learn life skills.
Key areas of personal development include tenancy support, staying safe, education, employment, training, life skills and health and well being.
There are three distinct service areas:
• Ofsted regulated supported accommodation, staffed 24/7, for care leavers aged 16-17
• Ofsted regulated supported accommodation for unaccompanied asylum seeking children
• Community based supported accommodation for over 18s, including families
These services are linked in our unique Stay Close to Home model.
Ofsted regulated supported accommodation
ROC Solid was launched in 2007 to help improve outcomes for care leavers and we have a strong track record in helping young people move into independence and lead successful lives.
We have now expanded our service to include young unaccompanied asylum seeking children.
We operate our Ofsted service in good quality, safe “hubs” which are staffed 24/7. Accommodation is mainly in self- contained apartments – one hub has studio rooms with some communal facilities.
Our skilled and well-trained team of support workers offer a minimum of eight hours a week of one-to-one flexible support.
We work closely with a wide range of partners and always put the thoughts, wishes and feelings of the young people at the heart of our work.
Our unique Stay Close to Home model includes an opportunity to move into one of our community-based houses post-18.
Community based supported accommodation
We offer supported accommodation to a wide range of over 18s, including families, who have a vulnerability and who are experiencing homeless or at risk of experiencing homelessness.
Our skilled, experienced and well-trained staff team work closely with professionals from other sectors including colleges, mental health services, probation, social services, drug and alcohol services and employers.
Individual Support Plans cover areas which need to be developed to help people gain the skills they need to achieve independence, maintain their own tenancies and improve their overall quality of life.
Each person/family receives a minimum of five hours support a week and has access to 24/7 telephone support.
