About Wayforward Specialist Support Services

We are Wayforward Specialist Support, based in Newton Abbot and supporting people in their own homes across this part of Devon. We work with adults who have a learning disability, autistic adults, and people managing a mental health condition. Many of those we support are younger adults who want to live in their own place with the right backing rather than in a care setting. Our work is about enabling rather than doing. Where somebody wants to cook for themselves, manage their money, use public transport, keep a tenancy going or hold down a job or a course, we work at it with them patiently and at their pace. We do not decide in advance what is beyond anybody, and we do not treat a difficult stretch as proof that something was unrealistic. Communication is the foundation of this work. We learn how each person tells us what they want, in whatever form that takes, and we make sure every worker understands it before supporting that person alone. We take real care over who supports whom and we keep those arrangements steady, because this depends on trust far more than on procedure. We work closely with families, social workers, community mental health teams and GPs. Our most recent CQC overall rating is good. Please get in touch to discuss support.
