Aim and Objective of Stonham Byan

The aim of the Service is to assist the Council in delivering the key outcomes identified in the Adult Care and Support Wellbeing, Early Intervention and Prevention Commissioning Strategy and to assist the Council in achieving the outcomes identified by the ‘No Second Night Out’ principles in Cornwall.

This will be achieved by ensuring that there are appropriate Services available to those people who require Support to live independently. These Support needs may arise because Persons are vulnerable due to age, physical disability, frailty or illness, learning disability, mental health, substance misuse, history of offending, domestic violence, abuse or neglect.

The purpose of this priority is to promote independence by:

  • Preventing tenancy breakdown and homelessness
  • Supporting and sustaining recovery from substance misuse
  • Support to regain and sustain mental wellbeing
  • Reducing crime and re-offending
  • Addressing anti-social behaviour
  • Increasing social inclusion
  • Reducing hospital admission and re-admission
  • Safeguarding vulnerable people.
