Supported Accommodation for Local Authority Professionals

Teens Studying Together

Supported Accommodation You Can Trust

Dunborne works with Local Authority children’s services and the professionals who support young people aged 16 to 18.

We provide small, staffed supported homes in Exmouth and Paignton, with personalised support that helps young people feel safe, build independence and prepare for adult life.

Working in Partnership
with Professionals

Finding the right placement for a young person is a serious decision.

Professionals need to know that the environment is safe, the team is experienced and the young person will be supported as an individual.

At Dunborne, our work is grounded in consistency, careful support planning and strong professional communication.

A Young Person-Centred Approach

We understand that referral information only tells part of the story.

Our team takes time to understand the young person behind the paperwork. We look at their strengths, needs, risks, goals and lived experience, then shape support that helps them move forward.

The aim is to create a stable setting where young people can feel safe, build trust and begin to develop the confidence needed for adult life.

Working in Partnership

Good support depends on clear communication.

We work alongside social workers, Local Authority teams, education providers and other professionals involved in the young person’s life.

Our role is to provide day-to-day support within the home while contributing to a wider plan that helps the young person make progress.
