Hi @lexidredge,

I’m so sorry to hear about the difficult situation you’re in. It sounds incredibly upsetting and frustrating to feel unsupported, especially when you've already taken steps like contacting the police and speaking to your social worker.

You have every right to feel safe and respected in your home. If you're being bullied or threatened, it’s important to escalate your concerns. Organisations like Mind or VoiceAbility can offer guidance and help you advocate for yourself.

Since social services are no longer involved, you might want to reach out to your local council’s housing team. You can find their details through the Gov.uk council finder. They may be able to assist with getting you onto the housing register, especially given the challenges you’ve been facing.

If your supported living provider continues to ignore your concerns, you could consider lodging a formal complaint through their process or escalating it to the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman.

Tome, you can't move from supported housing to fully independent without their being some sort of transitional support.

In order to stay where you are, you need a care plan and I would have thought social services should still be involved as they are funding that? Unless you are self funding.
