About Moore House

Current and Future Developments

Throughcare

The organisation has developed a throughcare service for young people leaving care, with a residential project in Livingston which opened in January 2003 for three young people and a second in February 2004. A third throughcare house is currently being considered.

The success of the service is evidenced by consistently positive inspection reports from the Care Commission, alongside encouraging feedback from service users and referring local authorities. The Scottish Executive has shown a keen interest in the model that has been developed and our Throughcare Services Manager is a member of the co-ordinating committee for the annual conference of the Throughcare and Aftercare Forum for 2005.

Family Placement Service

Our sister organisation, The Jane Moore Trust, runs a national Special Family Placement Service with an excellent reputation for providing professional foster families for young people who are particularly hard to place in ordinary foster care. The Trust provides a specialist respite service for residents at the school who have no alternative home base.

New Services

As a forward thinking and dynamic organisation we are flexible and creative in our responses to the needs of young people. We are currently in discussion with a number of local authorities regarding the development of further services to help meet their
statutory responsibilities.
