Description

Coventry City Council is undertaking the re‑commissioning of its Supported Accommodation for Young People Service. This service will provide high‑quality, accommodation with support for Coventry Children in Care, Care Leavers, and Unaccompanied Asylum‑Seeking Children (UASC) aged 16 and above.

Supported accommodation became regulated by Ofsted in October 2023 and the Council is required to contract with Ofsted registered providers.
