Hello,
Can anybody grant me any insight into the rules regarding supported living..
I currently have a licence agreement in supported accommodation, i suffer with Adhd and depression, i have been with this charity for over a year and they have just moved me to smaller premises with only 1 other person, the bedroom is very small with a small en suite, downstairs consists of a kitchen and dining room combined..
I may be wrong but i was led to understand that supported accommodation should have a separate room or area as a lounge, i have brought this up with the charity and they have put a tv on the wall in the kitchen with a crammed in sofa next to the fridge, there is a separate room however that may once been a lounge but they have turned it in to an office..
i just need some insight into weather there are any guidelines with this issue..
Thanks

Hello @lochsong
Thanks for your post, I hope you are well.
I am unsure of the specific legislation, but did you receive any kind of written agreement from the charity or when you initially had any assessment for supported housing?
A lot of what I can find on the subject is guidance rather than rules, such as this page here on Gov.uk. Or this one on the NHS website.Online Community CoordinatorConcerned about another member's safety or wellbeing? Flag your concerns with us.
