Referrals can be made by care managers in social services, health services and other care agencies on behalf of a service user.  Referrals can also be made by service users, their family or representative.  If you wish to make a referral please complete a Service User Request Form and attach the requested supporting information.

The Referral Process

1. A request is made for a placement by completing and sending us a service user request form.
2. Our placement services manager will check for providers who could meet the needs of the service user referred.  If a vacancy is available the referrral will be allocated to a placement officer.
3. The placement officer will discuss potential vacancies with you and may request more information.
4. The placement officer will discuss the referral with a provider(s) who may be suitable and if a potential match has been found will discuss this with you.
5. An introductory process will be agreed which may involve day visits, overnight visit(s) and/or a weekend visit.
6. A decision is made by the service user and the provider separately about the match.
7. If the match is felt to be desirable by all then the placement will be agreed and practical arrangements made.

Please Note:

The referal/matching process will take some time.  We cannot accept emergency placements.  If we do not have a suitable vacancy, your request can be put on our waiting list and will be regularly checked.
