Referral Procedure

We hope that our residential care service provides efficient and responsive care to our residents. Our objective is that all children who join us benefit from a placement that is encouraging and positive with firm but fair and caring staff. This way, each child can reach their potential during their time with us.

At the first stage of the placement enquiry, the manager will decide if our children’s home is suited for the proposed referral. If you wish to speed up the process you may use the form below, should you wish to use your own forms, you are welcomed to do so. If the placement enquiry is successful we expect that the placing authority should return a completed Referral form.

We suggest the placing authority complete a referral form with the below documentation to support their enquiry. It is important to note that we cannot accept a placement without the required documentation.
