Independent Living

Moving out and getting your own place is a big life step. It can be exciting and represent the next step in growing up. However, this can also be an apprehensive and daunting experience for a variety of reasons. Moving out or away is a big decision and it’s important to consider lots of things such as money and where you choose to live.  

If you’ve left home or you don’t feel safe there, you can contact your local council for support and advice.
