Referrals

Who can access our services?
We work with all young people aged from 16 to 25, (except for Floating Support,where the upper age limit is 30), regardless of gender, sexual orientation,learning difficulties,religious belief or ethnic origin.

Who can make a referral?
Referrals - recommending a young person for acceptance into one of our projects - can be made by the young person themselves, or by anyone else, such as a parent, teacher, concerned adult or friend. The only exception to this is the Supported Lodgings scheme,where referrals must be made by local authority social workers or housing departments.

Expectations
Everyone using our services will be expected to demonstrate the following:

• a desire to work with the staff team towards the aim of the project they are using;

• a respect for property,other young people in the projects, the staff team and any visitors;

For the safety of others using the projects,we cannot accept referrals of young people who we consider pose a threat to other clients. Such threats might arise from:

• violent or aggressive behaviour

• unstable behaviour which could compromise the stability of the project

• a risk of injury to clients or staff by any means

We do not allow the following items to be brought on to our premises:

• weapons

• illegal or non-prescribed drugs

• alcohol

• stolen property
