REVIEW MEETINGS AND IN-HOUSE SESSIONS
After your first week you will formally meet with a key worker to put together a development plan
for you to maximise your independence skills. You will be expected to meet with us weekly for your
key work sessions to ensure you are looking after yourself and your environment. Completing your
weekly key work sessions enables you to receive an incentive paid at the end of each week on
Saturday. When all sections of the Independence Programme are completed you will be awarded
with a certificate to confirm your capabilities of living alone and supporting yourself, this will show
positivity when making an application for a tenancy.
YOUR ROOM…. IS YOUR OWN PERSONAL SPACE
Each room is furnished with a bed and bedding, bedside table and lamp, chest of drawers, wardrobe,
mirror and flat screen television with remote control. You can bring whatever you wish to furnish
your room, if you want to change the décor talk to a member of staff and we’ll see if we can work
something out.
EMERGENCIES
On the Where are you? section of your Welcome Pack you will find the Intact’s address and 24 hour telephone number. A member of staff is available in the main office 24 hours for any emergencies.
YOUR THOUGHTS AND SUGGESTIONS
We want to hear what you think about how we do things and what we do. If you have any
thoughts or suggestions let a member of staff know at your review meeting. We will also run
workshops from time to time where you can talk with other residents, discuss how we do things and
share ways to improve and develop Intact as a place where you want to live.
