Providing a tailored service for service providers

The Supportive Relations Department ensures that the valuable lessons learnt within our frontline services are harnessed to influence public policy and practice as it relates to vulnerable young people, most recently relating to the value of providing mediation between young people and their families. We aim to work with related projects across the UK to disseminate the knowledge and experience gained within Alone in London from over 30 years of working to support vulnerable young people.
