Information for social care professionals

We provide a wide range of services to support adults with learning disabilities, autism and mental health needs to live happier, healthier, and more independent lives. We accept residents from any London borough and we have sites in Clapham Junction, Brixton, Tooting, and Vauxhall. 

This video shows you what we get up to at each site. 

Many potential students are unsure about what to expect when they attend Share. To help with this, we've created an accessible document with photos explaining what happens hour by hour on a regular day. This is based on attending Share Clapham Junction. It might be slightly different at another Share site, but the structure of a typical day is very similar at all our locations.

Opening times

Student sessions run from 10am until 4pm Monday to Friday (except for Tuesdays when they run from 11am until 4pm). We're open all year round and we close on bank holidays and usually between Christmas and New Year. 

We have a dedicated wellbeing team who work with students to develop strategies that help them manage their feelings and emotions. We also take part in social care reviews with our students, their social workers, and their families and carers to reassess needs and make sure students are getting the right support.

We host regular parent and carer forums to raise issues, share experiences and discuss how we can improve our services.

Our family liaison and wellbeing team work with partners and local authorities to support students, their families and carers to access healthcare and other services, and signpost to these where necessary.

We'll arrange a 'showaround', during which time potential students and their parents and carers visit us and we chat about goals and aspirations, behaviour support and health needs.

Step three

We’ll arrange a taster day for people to try out some of our programmes to check that they’re suitable.

Step four

We'll have a chat to review the taster day and make an offer if everyone is in agreement.
