What the notice says

Sheffield City Council is commissioning a service to provide safe, supported accommodation for young women aged 16 to 25 affected by abuse, including all forms of sexual abuse and domestic abuse. The Council wishes to commission a service that provides a safe, stable and nurturing home (short to medium term) for vulnerable young women, alongside compassionate, trauma-informed therapy and support. The purpose of the service is to create the conditions in which young women and their children are supported to recover from their experiences of abuse and are then able to move on to live independent lives in the community. Young women will be safer and will be able to exercise choice, maintain stable accommodation, develop practical and relational skills, and will be supported to build a future for themselves and, where relevant, their children.
