Supported accommodation in Swansea
Swansea is our home city. Our head office is here and we have more properties and staff here than anywhere else. Swansea Council teams get placements found faster, handovers in person, and a named senior contact on every placement.
Service boundary
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.

Learn moreWhat Swansea commissioners ask us about
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.
Swansea is where our UASC work is most established, and what an authority should expect from a UASC provider sets out the standard. A commissioner’s area guide to South Wales compares Swansea with the rest of the region, and what changes when a young person turns 18 covers what comes next.
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.
