Who can be referred?
Our 16–17 supported accommodation is for young males who are looked after or care leavers and whose needs are appropriate for supported accommodation. Our 18+ service is for young adult males ready for a floating support model. Every referral is assessed individually.
How do I start a referral?
Call 020 3380 5531 or email placements@inspiregrowth.org.uk. We will discuss the service required, suitability and availability, then agree the secure route for referral documents and relevant plans.
Do you consider urgent placements?
We consider urgent enquiries subject to current availability, assessment and safe matching. Please call the team to discuss the timescale and information needed.
How are support hours and fees agreed?
The proposed support package and fee are discussed following assessment of individual needs and the service required. Contact the team for a placement-specific proposal.
How is the young person involved?
We seek their wishes and feelings, support introductions where possible, agree individual goals and review progress through keywork and wider planning meetings.
Can we arrange a visit or request documents?
Yes. Speak to the team about a visit and request the Statement of Purpose, home information or safeguarding documents relevant to your referral.
What is happening in Portsmouth?
Our new 16–17 male supported accommodation setting is opening soon. Contact us about planned placements, the opening programme and when the home will be ready for referrals.
What is the difference between 16–17 and 18+ support?
Inspire Growth House offers 24/7 staffing and structured support for 16–17-year-olds. Our 18+ service combines accommodation with planned floating support visits and hours agreed around the young adult’s needs.
