Destination 1
Outreach Support


Programme Intent
The intent of Destination 1 is to reconnect autistic young people who may have become disengaged from services, education, or the outside world.
Within Destination 1, support is built around one-to-one outreach, allowing time to develop trust, understand each young person’s experiences, and begin re-engaging with the world at a pace that feels manageable for them. The focus is on building relationships, reducing barriers, and creating opportunities for individuals to take small but meaningful steps forward.
Destination 1 supports young people to develop confidence, coping strategies, and everyday skills, helping them learn how to navigate life more independently. Through personalised support and gradual exposure to new experiences, individuals begin moving toward greater independence and participation in their communities.

Who the Programme Is For

Destination 1 is available to young people:
  • Aged 16–29
  • Primarily autistic young people who may be disengaged from services, education, or community life
This programme is typically funded through:
  • Social care funding
  • Self-funding arrangements
  • In some cases, EHCP funding where agreed as part of provision (please note this is less common)

Programme Overview

Synolos has a team of specialist outreach support staff trained to provide personalised one-to-one support for autistic young people who may have disengaged from other services.
  • Support may include:
    coaching and mentoring
  • Signposting to other supportive organisations
  • Collaboration with families and professionals
  • Ongoing specialist training for outreach staff delivered by in-house professionals

Outreach workers develop a detailed understanding of each young person’s history and current challenges. By working closely with the young person, their family, and other professionals, the team identifies appropriate strategies that support progress and engagement.

Individualised Care Support Plans (CIP) help young people develop practical strategies for managing emotions, routines, and daily life tasks. These may include tools such as visual timetables or self-development resources designed to support independence.
Destination 1 is particularly suited to young people who may feel disconnected from the outside world or find communication with services challenging.

Important Boundaries
Destination 1 does not provide personal care support. This includes supervising toileting, bathing, or other hygiene-related activities.

Support staff are also unable to administer or supervise controlled medication, manage personal finances, or supervise mealtimes where a young person is unable to eat independently.

In limited circumstances medication support may be possible through shared care protocols, however Synolos is unable to provide support involving invasive medical procedures such as PEG feeding or catheter care.
