How to refer someone to supported living
A straightforward overview of the information providers usually need before they can assess suitability and plan a safe transition.
A good referral page should make life easier for professionals. It should explain who the service supports, who can refer, what information is needed and what happens after submission.
What professionals usually need before referring
- A brief summary of the person’s needs and presentation
- Known risks and current management arrangements
- Why a supported living placement is being sought now
- Funding information and preferred placement date
Why the website matters
When a provider website is clear, structured and professional, it reduces uncertainty and saves time for referrers. That is why this website includes service pages, local borough pages and a dedicated referral route.
