To enter into a grant agreement to award Choice Support £1,550,891 to implement the decision of Cabinet to approve the inclusion of Safe Space into the capital programme with a budget of £1.795m (para 64-66).

The project will de-commission an existing building and build a new facility called ‘The Safe Space’ to be located on Wantage Road, Didcot. 

It will provide two self-contained single-storey buildings with enclosed gardens and parking spaces, as well as a third building to accommodate Support Provider staff who are on duty throughout the day and night, to enable safe withdrawal and monitoring of individuals in the safe space. 

This third building will also provide a flexible space for skills teaching, day support for crisis prevention and support moves back into longer term supported housing.
