4, and 3-bedroom, setting. Each young person is provided with a private double room and
desk space, ensuring a comfortable and personal living environment. Bathrooms are shared
between residents, fostering a sense of responsibility and cooperation. The setting also

garden and communal decking area for recreation and relaxation.
Situated in a pleasant, family-friendly area of High Wycombe and Slough, our location
offers a quiet and secure environment. The setting is conveniently located within a
5-minute walk from essential amenities such as public transport, education facilities,
community facilities, healthcare, and other relevant local services. The nearby park,

the proximity to the local sports center, provides our young people with ample
opportunities for recreation and leisure activities.
Each resident's private bedroom is well-furnished, comfortable, and equipped with
telephone and internet connectivity. We provide standard bedding, towels, kitchen
equipment, and a welcome pack containing toiletries and essential clothing. Lockable
cabinets are available in each bedroom for securing personal items and valuables. While
bathrooms are shared between residents, each individual has their own designated
bathroom cupboard for personal supplies. In the fully equipped kitchen, every resident
has a personal cupboard for their own food, and we maintain a communal pantry stocked
with everyday basics for shared meals and snacks. The large dining table serves as a
gathering point for residents and staff to enjoy mealtimes together if they desire.
The spacious lounge area is furnished with comfortable sofas, beanbags, a TV, and a
gaming system, providing a relaxing environment for leisure time. We also maintain a
well-stocked cupboard with a variety of board games and craft supplies, which residents
and staff enjoy using together.
To ensure staff safety in emergencies, our office space is equipped with a heavy-duty,
lockable door. We prioritize the well-being of our residents and staff by ensuring that
all aspects of our supported accommodation meet the necessary insurance, health, safety,
and fire regulations. Regular premises reviews are conducted to maintain these
standards. The use of CCTV in external and communal areas helps to maintain security and
safeguarding. We are registered with the ICO and ensure that young people are informed
of their data rights. An annual location assessment is carried out to verify the
suitability, safety, and appropriateness of the premises.
We provide each young person with a written agreement in an accessible format, outlining
their rights and the terms and conditions of the supported accommodation. This agreement
also includes information on how to raise concerns about the service, building, and
maintenance.

use of a television and there is a varied selection of channels through
Freeview. In Some placement there is Netflix available as well.
The units have computers that have access to the Internet and the young
