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.

Moving On complies with all statutory regulations.

Moving On has a proven track record of working with and engaging with challenging young people.

Moving On can consider placements throughout the UK with a team of qualified Social Workers and personnel with experience of substance misuse, counselling, Youth Offending and secure and non-secure Children’s homes.
