Asked to leave home
A guide for young people
Consider why you are leaving home:
If you want to
leave because you have family problems, it may be
better to try to sort things out if you can. This way,
you can leave at a time that suits you and plan any
move. We can help you with this if you feel that you
cannot communicate with your parents or carers.
|
Family/Friends:
Staying with friends or other family is probably the
easiest and least stressful option, but it may only be
short term. You will be with people you know. It also
gives you breathing-space to look into other options.
If you are staying with friends or family temporarily,
it will not affect the way we assess your housing
situation. |
Finding your own place:
Can give you more freedom, independence and space,
but it’s not guaranteed to be a positive experience.
Some young people end up feeling isolated and
unable to cope, in debt, or unhappy with where they
are living. It’s not easy to manage your own tenancy,
and you may struggle to cope with paying rent and
your bills.

If you are sure you cannot stay at
home, speak to Tameside Housing
Advice who can tell you what
options you have for accommodation.
If you are 16 or 17 we may be able to
support you in this.
You may be able to go into
supported housing, where you will be
helped to develop the skills you
will need to live on your own. You
can also speak to your Connexions worker, who can also advise you
on training or studying options
available to you.
