Chance Further Support CIC is a community interest company established to support vulnerable children, young people, parents, and families through trauma-informed, safeguarding-led residential and outreach services. During the year ending 31 March 2025, the Company delivered the following core activities: Operated supported and supervised accommodation for vulnerable young people, parents, and families at risk of homelessness, domestic abuse, social exclusion, and family breakdown. Provided specialist support to young parents, including those with learning needs, mental-health vulnerabilities, limited family networks, and histories of trauma. Delivered structured life-skills, parenting support, and practical guidance to promote in-dependence, stability, and positive outcomes for both parents and children. Worked in close partnership with Local Authorities, safeguarding professionals, health services, and education providers to support statutory intervention and early help objectives. On 16 August 2022, Chance Further Support CIC became Ofsted-registered as a Residential Family Centre. This enabled the Company to undertake court-directed and Local Authority-commissioned Parent and Child Assessments, supporting the safeguarding of children while assessing parental capacity within a safe, supervised environment. These assessments typically last 12–16 weeks and contribute to evidence-based decision-making for the Family Courts regarding children’s long-term care arrangements. The Company’s activities have benefited the community in the following ways: Provided safe, regulated accommodation for vulnerable parents, children, and young people. Supported families to remain together safely where appropriate, reducing escalation to foster care or long-term separation. Contributed to safeguarding outcomes by delivering structured assessments, observations, and professional reports. Created local employment opportunities, including full-time and part-time roles. Delivered outreach support, signposting, and practical assistance to newly independent parents. Provided donations of food, clothing, and essential items to vulnerable families and local community groups. Supported individuals to access education, training, and employment, reducing social exclusion and long-term dependency on services. All activities are delivered in line with the Company’s community purpose, with any surplus reinvested to improve services, governance, staffing, and facilities for the benefit of service users and the wider community.
The Company’s key stakeholders include: Parents, children, and young people using the service Local Authorities and commissioning teams Social Workers, Health Visitors, Midwives, and other partner professionals Ofsted and regulatory bodies Family Courts and associated legal professionals Staff and sessional workers Local community organisations Stakeholder consultation is embedded within the Company’s practice.
