Referral Process
The Referral Process
The referral process begins with an enquiry, by telephone, email or letter. The service will then ask for a referral form to be completed giving brief information about the potential service user and their support needs. A professional from the multi-disciplinary team can complete this form.
A provisional review of this information is then undertaken to assess whether the service can potentially meet the needs of the individual being referred. If the service feels they can meet the person’s needs, a full assessment will then be arranged with the potential tenant and their care team.
