A SERVICE FOR CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE AGED 0-18 YEARS OLD
We provide culturally appropriate and gender specific mentoring, overnight residential care support, supervised contact visits, supervised transport and respite support.
We believe consistency is vital with supporting children, young people and their families. Therefore, LEAP Social Services ensure the same mentor maintains support for the individual child, young person, and/or family.
