Support models will vary depending on a person's needs.

The Service Provider and the Council will discuss the support model at an early stage.

The Service will provide a place of safety, security and stability.

The Service Provider will be responsible for fostering good relationships with neighbours and local businesses and managing the behaviour of people using the Service in the locality of the building. The Service Provider will respond to any complaints from the local community in a timely manner.

The Service Provider is expected to become part of the local community. The Service Provider will engage Individuals with the community and engage the community with the Service.
