Supporting independence. Enriching lives.

Young people aged 16–17

Your next steps. Support that starts with you.

We support young people aged 16–17 with autism, learning disabilities and mental health needs. Personal care and everyday support are shaped around your strengths, communication and the things that matter to you.

Your voice comes first

We take time to understand how you communicate, what helps you feel comfortable and what you want from your support. Your views help shape the plan.

Confidence in everyday life

Support can include personal care, building routines, developing practical skills and taking part in your community, according to your assessed needs.

Planning the next chapter

We work with you and, where appropriate, your family, representatives and involved professionals to plan support and prepare for the transition into adulthood.

Our CQC registration covers personal care and includes children aged 0–18. Ofsted registration is a separate process and is currently in progress. We will explain the support and settings available for your assessed needs before any arrangements are agreed.

A considered start

Getting to know you comes first.

01

Let’s get to know you

We start by listening: what you enjoy, what you want to work towards and where support would help.

02

Find the right fit

Together, we explore your needs, the environment and the support available. There is space to ask questions.

03

Plan your next chapter

If Sunrise is right for you, we agree a plan together and prepare for your transition, one considered step at a time.

Planning your support

Space for your questions.

Tell us what matters to you. We’ll discuss your needs and the arrangements before support begins.

What support can Sunrise discuss for someone aged 16–17?

We discuss personal care and everyday support for young people with autism, learning disabilities and mental health needs. This can include routines, practical skills and community activities, according to assessed needs and service suitability. We involve the young person and, where appropriate, their family, representatives and relevant professionals.

What does your registration cover for young people?

Sunrise is CQC-registered for personal care, with children aged 0–18 included in its registration. Ofsted registration is a separate process and is currently in progress. CQC registration does not establish Ofsted registration for a children’s accommodation service. Please discuss the support and setting available before making arrangements.

A new chapter starts
