24hr Support – A rapid response
Where possible, we will endeavour to keep the young person within the family home. Support staff can be placed within the home in order to help achieve this.
However, we recognise this is not always feasible. Inspire are able to offer emergency 24-hour wrap around care to young people who are not able to return home or to their placement. This support can be put in for one night, or until an alternative placement is identified.
Our team are experienced in supporting young people in these challenging situations. Once initial safeguarding needs have been addressed, staff work alongside the young person in supporting life skills, resilience and in preparing them for the next step.
We understand that every situation is different and therefore remain flexible in meeting the needs of the individual.

As part of our 24-hour rapid response package we are able to provide staff in a hospital setting to supervise and support parents during a care order or an emergency protection order.
Transport
Inspire can transport a child or young person to their new placement whether that is in or out of the county.
We have the required and necessary insurances in place, as well as ensuring vehicle checks are regularly carried out.

Our team are able to quickly build relationships, putting the young person at ease in what can be a very traumatic and emotional situation.

Testimonials
Absolutely fantastic, I would recommend highly. Staff are understanding and very good in regard to what they do. My child has made so much progress and gained so much confidence and trust, that without Inspire it wouldn’t have been achieved. Amazing just amazing! Thank you so much for all you do!
Thank you for taking me to the rides, woodlands and the beach, all places I wouldn’t normally get to go, and horse riding. Also, for welcoming me to Inspire. Thank you for everything! I think of all the fun times.
I just wanted to write to you both to thank you for all your work. You went above and beyond to help my young person, which in turn helped me, especially at a time when their risks were so high. As a service you are flexible, dedicated and provide experienced well trained staff. Thank you.
