Rebuild services

The NFSS has additional services separate from Rebuild semi independence. We can provide a program of support to help young people who are experiencing outbursts, realign life-limiting behaviours to enable them to be returned to their placement with a better chance to self regulate their behavior following a brief period of support. In order to provide this function we have developed our mobile support workshop and service.

We provide support and not care as such referrals will be assessed to ensure that they are suitable for the service.

Due to the mobile nature of this service, we are able to access insured accommodation for young people throughout England and Wales.

Young people can be collected from placement and undergo a 7 or 28-day residential program of support and outdoor learning and can access our knife crime/ anti-radicalisation program. Mobile support allows young people to be supported away from the environment that may have contributed to their difficulty and allows them to focus on the program and realign maladjusted perceptions of self and external relationships.

SUPPORT PROVIDED

Support is provided in small groups of up to two young people with two members of staff providing young people with 1:1 or 2:1 support depending on the requirements of the young persons and placement team. Young people can be be collected from placement and engage in the program that is outdoors based and includes camping and outdoor pursuits and time spent in suitably placed temporary accommodation throughout Scotland, Wales, and England.

ASDAN Logo

The NFSS can provide ASDAN short courses, key skills and bronze silver and gold awards as such young people who need support can access the mobile and outdoor program during term time. We are registered the Institute of Outdoor Learning and mountain Bothy association to ensure that our service is both safe and achieves positive outcomes for young people in crisis. Our safeguarding policies have been developed to ensure that young people receive the level of services that they deserve by staff with the qualifications and vetting required for supporting young people with complex behavioural needs.

Transitional support

Young people who have spent time within secure children’s facilities and are between the ages of 16 and 18 and are in the process of adjusting back into their community often need a ‘mid-step’ to enable them to reintegrate back within a less rigid and structured setting whilst maintaining appropriate levels of boundaries to address a propensity to engage in anti-social behaviour and/or crime. We can collect a young person from their secure establishment and designed a program of support that would integrate the young person back within their community recognising contextual factors following a further period of adjustment support.

A contextual safeguarding approach seeks to create a response to extra-familial forms of abuse that can:

Target the contexts in which that abuse occurs, from assessment through to intervention
Frame work to address extra-familial risk through the lens of child welfare, as opposed to crime reduction or community safety
Utilise partnerships between children’s services and agencies who have a reach into extra-familial contexts (such as transport providers, retailers, youth workers, residents associations, parks and recreation services, schools and so son), and;
Measure success with reference to the nature of the context in which harm has been occurring, rather than solely focusing on any behaviour changes displayed by young people who were at risk in those contexts.

“I have personally been witness to Zebra-Read in action and with my 26 years police service I have never felt so moved by seeing the depth of their work and how the gently penetrate the core of children and young people and the positive reactions they received and the changes they make in others are quite incredible” (sgt Alison Adams community safety team Derby)
