Policies and Strategies

Torbay has developed a new approach to help people move on from Supporting People services and access appropriate accommodation. Lack of people moving on can block up services meaning less vacancies for others who need them. The Policy For Strategic Move On is in the related documents section at the bottom of the page.

Strategies on the future plans for Supporting People services for:

• mental health
• domestic abuse
• physical disability, sensory disability, acquired brain injury and long term conditions
• children, young people and families
• older people
• learning disability
• homeless people, (ex) offenders, and substance misuse

are available for viewing in the related documents section below.

The Communication and Involvement Strategy lays out how Torbay Supporting People Team will communicate with and involve service users, service providers and all those with an interest in the Supporting People programme. The strategy and the easy read summary version can be downloaded from within the related documents section below.

The Supporting People Procurement Strategy sets out Torbay Council’s approach to buying housing related support services. This strategy can be downloaded from within the related documents section below.
