Placement suitability

Due to the nature of the service the people we support move on within approximately two years (longer or shorter if required) after developing the skills for independence and moving on. We are currently at capacity therefore we are welcoming referrals for a waiting list. 

The staff are trained to support mental health issues.

In England the regulatory body CQC is ensuring support providers are providing local support for local people. Therefore when we receive a referral from outside of the local authority area where our service is, we need to demonstrate we have taken steps to explore meaningful family links or connections to the area. We would also need a clear rationale from the funder as to why they are seeking an out of county placement. Therefore not all referrals may be considered for each NAS service.
