Services Offered

All young people aged 16 and 17 in supported accommodation will have a named worker, known as the "lead professional". This will be either a Targeted Support or Youth Justice case manager or a social worker. They will coordinate their assessment and plan and will make sure the right professionals are involved.

Where appropriate they will work with the young person and their family to negotiate a return home. There should be regular contact between the key worker in the accommodation setting and the lead professional, including three way meetings with the young person to monitor progress and to review the plan. Wherever consent can be obtained the assessment and plan will be shared in their entirety with the key worker.  The plan will set out what goals the young person wishes to achieve, how they will be met and in what timescale and which professionals will be available to help them. It will also set out how often professionals will have face-face contact with the young person.

Where young people are not in education, training or employment part of the Targeted Support role will be to help them find a college place, training course and job. It will be Targeted Support that validates their claim for benefits, a role previously undertaken by Connexions. Where there is a crisis or repeated behaviours which threaten a supported accommodation placement the lead professional will discuss with the key worker what additional interventions are needed to avoid eviction or to agree how the young person will be successfully moved on.

Those young people who reach the age of eighteen whilst in supported accommodation will continue to be able to access advice from Targeted Support or from a leaving care worker until their 21st birthday in most cases, although they will not always continue to have a lead professional and plan.

CAMHS stands for Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services. It’s the part of the NHS which helps children and young people who have problems with their thoughts or feelings. We can help people until they are 18.  If someone like a teacher or your doctor is worried about you, they can write to CAMHS to see if we can help you. This is called making a referral. The person who is going to write to us has to get your permission first. As long as we think you are able to decide, it's up to you whether or not we let your parents know.

If you are having trouble with your thoughts or feelings talk to your parents or carers, or an adult you trust.  There is a useful website called Health for Teens that you may find useful:  http://www.healthforteens.co.uk/

Most children who get help from CAMHS see one of our community teams. This normally means you will come to see us for weekly appointments at one of our bases, at a health centre or at your school.  We have lots of people working for us who can help you in different ways. These include:

• family therapists – who talk through problems with you and your family
• CAMHS social workers – who support children and families through difficult times
• family support workers – who can give advice to your parents or carers
• mental health practitioners – who support young people and their families to bring about positive change
• psychologists – experts in how people think and act
• psychiatrists – doctors who work on thoughts and feelings
• art psychotherapists – who can help you by using art and music

Focus on Young People in Bassetlaw is an independent charity which supports young people aged 8-25 years living in Bassetlaw. It assists other organizations in their endeavors and provides & encourages positive activities for young people.

To do this we need to raise substantial funds annually.

As a grant giving trust which assists young people and their organisations in their many and varied ventures with financial assistance.

At least 1200 young people each year receive support

As an organiser of events which help to raise the confidence and self esteem of young people, with informal learning and development opportunities.

To date the events have included: Fun Runs, Rock Nights, Drama Events, Quiz Nights, Sewhat Fashion Extravaganza, Musical Concerts, BMX Challenges, Raft Races, Sports Activities, Golf Days,Cooking Competitions

As a voluntary sector agency that plays a major  part, through consultation, in the development of services for young people in the area.

FoYPiB works in partnership with other local organisations supporting young people.

We are also able to offer help, advice and Information on: Volunteering Opportunities, The Drawing up of Policies, Identifying Local Resources, Links to other Support Agencies and More....

The project uses angling as a means to inspire and motivate young people to develop an interest in and enjoy learning by teaching them how to set out to catch specimen sized fish of a variety of species. This becomes a transferable skill. CAST encourages young people to recognise the merits of learning skills in order to achieve goals and understand the links between education and success. Activities and groups developed by CAST are designed to engage young people in long term project activities and in the case of community based projects this long term programme is supported by the recruitment of adult volunteers and the development of social enterprise activities.

Community Learning Champions and their role:

When CLCs are given the resources to flex their creative talents, backed by effective support and training, lives and communities are changed for the better.  The results of the CLC National Support Programme speak for themselves: more people getting involved in learning, more parents raising their sights and those of their children, more people shaking off the damaging effects of depression and drug abuse, more people getting into work and more people getting involved in making their community a better place.

YoungMinds is the UK’s leading charity committed to improving the emotional wellbeing and mental health of children and young people. Driven by their experiences we campaign, research and influence policy and practice.

We also provide expert knowledge to professionals, parents and young people through our Parents' Helpline, online resources, training and development, outreach work and publications.

Website:  www.youngminds.org.uk

YoungMinds does not offer advice to young people – our helpline service is for parents or carers worried about a child or young person.

Parents' Helpline:  0808 802 5544

Online Resources for Young People:  http://www.youngminds.org.uk/for_children_young_people

Our office is open from Monday to Friday, 9.00am until 5.00pm

We offer support to both single young people aged 16-21, (up to 25 in exceptional circumstances) and also to young parents aged 16-19. Priority will always be given to those aged between 16 and 17.

We offer a package of good quality accommodation partnered with individually-tailored support plans.  These are reviewed regularly to ensure your plan is working for you and can be reviewed any time at your request.

We also offer a regular programme of activities to encourage our young people to build confidence, learn new skills, and get involved in the community.

Ultimately, it is the aim of New Roots to support all service users to develop independent living skills and make the transition to suitable and permanent accommodation. The length of stay depends upon individual need, but can be anything between 6 months and 2 years.

Referrals are made by Notts County Council Family Services.

Available 24 hours a day, a confidential telephone helpline for those under 19 years old offering support and advice on any issue you are going through. 

Telephone:  0800 1111

Chat with a counsellor online or post on the message boards:  https://childline.org.uk/

Information for adults concerned about a child also available online.

The service can support people who;

• have been assessed by Adult Health & Social Care but are ineligible for statutory services

• have a history that shows they might put their accommodation at risk without intervention and support

• have a need that is likely to require longer term but low level housing- related support.

We work with people who have a wide range of support needs, such as Autism, learning disabilities, Asperger’s or following a brain injury, or where they don’t meet the criteria for statutory adult social care, among others.

The service will be really flexible and service users will be able to have a say in how they are supported and what their needs are. We can help with finding accommodation, accessing specialist services, budgeting and claiming benefits among many other things.

We can offer support in a range of ways, which could include in own homes and in the community, to help maintain independence. The support is linked to the service user and not their tenancy, so if they move within Nottinghamshire we can continue to support them.

Based on the application, assessment and feedback that we receive from an agency, a member of the team will decide whether this service will be beneficial or not. If so they will be in contact within ten days of the referral.

The service supports Victims and survivors to be resilient and in doing so are less likely to be re-victimised; empowered to cope and recover from crime and anti-social behaviour by timely and effective victim-centred support from local services, families and communities.

Victims do not have to report a crime to access the service. Victims of both recorded and self-reported crime are tracked at all points in their journey and given access to information, practical support and advice and where appropriate, referral to ‘cope, recover and empowerment’ support services in their local communities.

Victim CARE ensures that the support will be victim-centred and outcome focussed. It will ensure that the needs of the victim are considered and supported at every stage of the criminal justice process.

The service is provided by a team of experienced professional case workers, giving one to one support to victims of crime and ASB. The team is supported by a committed and highly trained team of volunteers. The aim is to improve victims’ experience with the criminal justice system and associated support services.

Types of support

Victims of crime and anti-social behaviour benefit from enhanced help and support with a new-style service, designed around the needs of victims to help them cope and recover from their experience and empower them to become more resilient

• Tailored emotional and practical support, advocacy and restorative justice determined through a ‘needs assessment’, focusing on the level of harm caused by the crime and the vulnerability of the victim.
• A dedicated Caseworker providing one to one support to each victim, making it less stressful for them and reducing the number of times they are asked to tell their story
• Access to restorative justice services arranged by the Caseworker, which could include facilitating dialogue with a person with a conviction. Restorative justice brings those harmed by crime or conflict and those responsible for the harm into communication, enabling everyone affected by a particular incident to play a part in repairing the harm and finding a positive way forward.

Our Parents Helpline is available to offer advice to anyone worried about a child or young person under 25.

You may have questions about a child’s behaviour, emotional wellbeing, or mental health condition. You may have a child who’s already been admitted to CAMHS and have questions about their treatment or want to know what to say to your GP when you visit them. 

Our trained advisers are here to give you help and advice, whatever the question. 

Under 25? Our helpline is there for parents, but there’s plenty of help and support for young people too whether it’s our expert guides or the various organisations and helplines we work with. Find out where to get help.

Nottinghamshire County Council’s Public Health have commissioned a new and exciting website ‘Health for Kids’ which will be managed by the Youth Service. The website is due to be launched in January 2019.

Health for Kids is a health promotion website offering information in a fun and interactive way for primary school children, parents/carers and teachers. The website will offer local news on upcoming events, campaigns, blogs, articles and useful information about services available to children within Nottinghamshire. The website aims to help promote the health and wellbeing of children aged 5-11 years. 

Moving forward, the Youth Service will also be managing the Health for Teens Website, which was launched back in January 2016. Health for Teens offers health and wellbeing advice and information to young people aged 11-19, promoting a healthy body and mind. The site provides local information on relevant services to signpost young people to within Nottinghamshire.

As a service we would like to inform you of how to contact us in regards to supporting the websites to ensure the information we include on the local pages is up to date and relevant for Nottinghamshire. For example, if you have an event you would like us to promote to children, young people, parents or carer, or if you have a campaign that is running locally we can publicise these on the Health for kids or Teens Website’s.

We would also like to request you to promote the relevant website to the appropriate age group through your service. We have a range of publicity material available electronically and a limited supply of hard copies.
