Floating Support

Floating support means support that is not linked to accommodation and not normally provided by a person’s tutor/carer. Irrespective of their housing situation a person might need support with issues such as budgeting, life skills, drug or alcohol misuse, avoiding offending etc.

A support provider can offer this as a stand-alone service without providing or arranging accommodation linked to the support.
