About Us - Moving On Care Management Limited
Moving On was set up in 1999 due to a demand for the provision of a
high–quality accommodation and support for young people under the
care of social services.
Moving On can assist local authorities with meeting their obligations as
set out in the Children (Leaving Care Act), 2001. Moving On will liaise
with local authorities in order to implement the young person’s pathway
plan.
"We acknowledge the unique contribution that all young people bring to
society in terms of their culture, ethnicity, race, gender, nationality,
age, religion, disability, sexual orientation, education, experiences,
opinions and beliefs".
Our Service is committed to encouraging a healthy lifestyle through
emotional and practical support, in safe accommodation with 24 hour
assistance, whilst promoting education and employment to help achieve
economic wellbeing. Moving On are committed to the every child
matters principles.
