Ms Karen Feeney:

We intend to commission academic research, but from our own statistics and record keeping we can see that only four young people who have been through this service have had to go back to emergency accommodation in all of the six years that the service has been in existence. If placements break down then one must find an alternative. Even if one has to be out one cannot stay in a unit with the person but a key worker will work with him or her to find an alternative. Commitment is very important to young people because one will be tested on that for sure.
