Supported Accommodation & Semi-Independent Living for Young People
We are proud to celebrate another outstanding success.
KT’s Care Angels Ltd has successfully secured a place on the London Borough of Ealing’s Light Touch Framework for Supported Accommodation and Semi-Independent Living for Young People.
This is a significant and highly regulated area of provision, requiring strong safeguarding leadership, trauma-informed practice, and clear pathways to independence for vulnerable young people.
A Specialist and Sensitive Service
Supported accommodation and semi-independent living services support young people — often care leavers — as they transition into adulthood.
To secure a position on this Light Touch Framework, providers must demonstrate:
- Robust safeguarding and child protection processes
- Clear risk assessment and management systems
- Staff training aligned with Ofsted and regulatory expectations
- Strong partnership working with social workers and local authorities
- Structured independence plans covering education, employment, and life skills
- Quality assurance and monitoring frameworks
KT’s Care Angels Ltd showed strength and credibility across every requirement.
A Framework That Demands Quality
Light Touch Frameworks still require rigorous evidence of compliance and operational readiness. Commissioners are selecting organisations that can provide safe, stable environments while preparing young people for independent adulthood.
Our bid team worked closely with KT’s Care Angels Ltd to ensure the submission:
- Demonstrated a clear safeguarding culture
- Articulated their therapeutic and person-centred approach
- Evidenced structured move-on pathways
- Showcased leadership capability and governance controls
- Positioned them as a trusted partner to the London Borough of Ealing
This was about more than compliance — it was about demonstrating impact.
A Word from Jill

It is always a privilege to support organisations that are making a tangible difference in young people’s lives.”

Looking Ahead
Securing a place on this framework strengthens KT’s Care Angels’ position within the London local authority market and opens the door to sustainable, long-term growth in supported accommodation provision.
Congratulations to the entire team, this is a well-earned and meaningful win.
