Supported accommodation in Powys
Powys is the largest LA in Wales by area, and rural placements need transport planning. We can assess Powys referrals for placements across Brecon, Newtown, Welshpool and Ystradgynlais, with transport sorted from day one.

The questions that come up before a first placement are much the same across Wales, and we have written about most of them at length.
In a county this large, most of the risk is out of hours, so start with what to expect from night support and on-call. Then read why operational consistency is the thing to test for, and for how records stay visible wherever the property is, why we built our own placement platform.
Regulatory position: TIFA Life is not a CIW-registered children's home or care service. We accept placements only where needs can be safely met within our supported accommodation model.
