Our
referral
process
Our referral process
Referrals are accepted from social workers, statutory agents. Young people between the ages of 8 to 17 on admissions.
Step 1
Contact us to make a referral – we do accept emergency referrals after completion of a impact assessment.
Step 2
We aim to give you a decision within 24-hours
Step 3
Accept the offer of placement and arrange for the young person to join Northridge. When time allows we welcome a visit to our home prior to admission.
Before we accept
a
placement
The care and wellbeing of children is paramount. Before we accept a placement, we will discuss the assessing requirements with the referring authority to ensure that Northridge is the right fit for the young person. We also carry out an impact assessment looking at the needs of the young people currently living in a Northridge Care service and the needs of the young person being referred.
How to make a referral
For referrals or an initial discussion, please call 01772 346 825 or email vicky@northridgecaregroup.co.uk.
We are happy to discuss emergency placements on an individual basis.
