Referrals & Admissions

​

We always encourage pre-placement previews which allow the opportunity for all stakeholders to meet and consider the placement carefully before a final decision. There is no pressure to decide straight away, and we aim to answer as many questions as you want to ask. Please note that you may be required to join our waiting list if there are no vacancies at Sanctuary 16.

​

All enquiries about the service, in general, can be made to our head office. We would usually like the young person to visit or be visited to begin their assessment and discuss their hopes and fears about the prospective placement. We would also hope that social workers visit the house and local area before admission.

​

The appropriate referral forms will be expected to accompany the service user on admission so that key information is available and appropriately recorded.

​

Matching - The assessment looks at the whole person to determine if our homes are suitable for them and they will be able to achieve the most positive outcomes. We assess their personality, skills, abilities, what’s important to them, what are their goals, where they want to live and their overall needs to support them to become independent, happy and live fulfilling lives. 

​

We accept nationwide applicants.
