We’ve answered some of the most common questions about how referrals work and what to expect from the process.
Referrals must come from placing authorities. However, we warmly welcome families to get in touch to learn more about our homes, the care we provide, and our current vacancies. If you feel we could be the right place for your child, please speak with their social worker, who can make a referral on your behalf.
We require a full and up-to-date referral document from the placing authority, including key details about the child’s background, needs, and any relevant reports or assessments. The more comprehensive the information, the better we can assess suitability and plan the right support.
Our experienced team carefully reviews each referral, considering the child’s needs, the dynamics of our existing homes, and how we can best support them. If we believe that we may be able to meet the needs of the child, we will complete a full assessment before confirming a placement. This will usually include further discussions and a request for further information.
This depends on the complexity of the referral and placement availability. We aim to respond quickly and will keep you informed throughout the process.
Yes! Feel free to use the contact details above to discuss current availability before submitting a referral.
