Appropriate Adult Services (AAS)

We have an on-call rapid response team available via local authorities’ referral within London and the South East regions. This is available to young people aged 16+ recorded as missing and/or high-risk children with the aim of returning them to safety.

Our appropriate adult services cover the following: 

  • Emergency travel to and from locations within London and the South East

  • Facilitation of emergency short term accommodation, usually spanning 1-14 nights

  • Liaison with EDT, local authorities our partnership organisations and police to ensure all parties are aware of the young persons status

  • Optional crisis consultations with vulnerable young people to understand any issues they are facing.

Local authorities and social enterprises please contact AAS@soehomes.com for more information and commissioning of this service.
