Welcome to your web-enabled Supported Lodgings Handbook

If this is the first time you've visited this online handbook, please read through the 'Using this Handbook' guidance to familiarise yourself with the layout and functions.

The handbook reflects policies, procedure and guidance for the supported lodgings Service. It has been written in an accessible way to help you understand the sort of things that your supported lodgings Service requires of you. It has been designed for new and existing supported lodgings hosts and deals with the day to day practicalities you may face.

You will play an important role in the lives of looked after young people placed with you, so it is important that you have the necessary tools to support you with this task. This handbook is one of these tools alongside the many professionals you will work with including your Supervising Worker.

This is the start of a great journey for you and the young people you may work with.
