For professionals
Making a referral
Our referrals team works with local authorities and social workers to find the right service for each child or young person, across residential care, transitional services, supported accommodation and education.

How it works
Four steps to a planned move
- 1
Send the referral
Email the referral and supporting documents to our team.
- 2
Matching
We assess needs, risks and compatibility with young people already in the home.
- 3
Our response
We come back promptly with an offer, or a clear reason if we cannot meet the need.
- 4
Planned move
We agree a transition plan with the young person, their network and education.
