The service will be underpinned by the following legislation and National Guidance.
• Children’s Act 1989-2004
INTRODUCTION
Positive Doors LTD (PDL) is a semi- independent provider. Our Head Office is based in Birmingham and our provisions are located throughout the West Midlands. Ms Alexandra Groves the visionary and Founder of Positive Doors Ltd (PDL) is a qualified counsellor with a degree in Criminal Justice and, a diploma in psychopathology. Ms Groves has amassed a sound of knowledge and experience with young clients presented in the social care sector and in the criminal justice system.
The concept is to work with and support young people who; have had a disrupted childhood, often experience emotional behavioural difficulties, are not in education, training, employment, (NEET), and those who have attachment difficulties, making it challenging for them to trust adults.
It is also often recognised that young people now could find themselves living at home, up to their mid adulthood with the security of knowing that their family is around if they need advice, help or somewhere to go back to. Most people in Local Authority Care leave their foster or residential placement between the ages of 16 and 17. Many young persons will have missed out on opportunities to learn practical skills. Very few young people will feel that they have the safety net of concerned adults to whom they can return.
We aim to bridge the gap between moving from 24 hours residential or foster care, to a reduced supportive environment in the community, emphasising on young people making decisions and taking responsibility for their actions.
THESE CLIENTS GROUPS
.Care leavers
• Young people with a history of offending behaviour and complex needs
• Unaccompanied Asylum seeker Children
• Young People at risk of Sexual Exploitation

Where we do it
OUR APPROACH
Positive Doors provides a high standard of accommodation, care, and support package for young people between the ages of 16-17.
Although Young people grow up in children’s home or foster care, it does not mean that they are ready to cope with responsibilities such as, looking after themselves, dealing with complex issues and dealing with in their lives.
This service helps young people to make the difficult transition from care, to living independently in the community. Young people need to have acquired some self-care skills and demonstrate that they are working towards their own tenancy.
Each young person has an individual set of aims and objectives that consists of things that they may have missed out on as a child or might not have learnt it from their parents. For example:
- taking up further education or training opportunities.
- Agreeing to live within a budget and sharing household chores.
- Support and guidance are given to help young people with domestic skills i.e., cooking, cleaning, and household management.
The Service will have a team of professional workers, dedicated towards the development of the Young person. The service provided will work in line with providing a semi-independent supportive accommodation for young people preparing to leave care or young people facing homelessness.
