The key aim of the service is to increase the safety of individuals with multiple vulnerabilities and complex needs who are escaping domestic abuse, through the provision of specialist safe accommodation and empowering the person to understand their own and others' behaviours and how they can support themselves. This service will also provide culturally sensitive housing related support and accommodation to individuals and their children from minority ethnic backgrounds and is to be delivered through a minimum of 24 dispersed units in locations spread throughout Cornwall to offer choice and safety and locations must give full consideration of access to services and public transport links, and the local landscape in relation to other existing accommodation services. Providing a variety of self-contained accommodation units to service users on a tenancy or license agreement, according to individual need and risk assessment, supported with 24 hour in person or on-call tailored support, as detailed in the specification, provided according to assessment of risk and need and delivered by trained and experienced workers with a high level of understanding of the specific needs.
