How it works

From referral to outcome

A clear, predictable process for families, schools and commissioning teams.

  1. 01

    Enquiry

    Same working day

    A parent, school, hub or commissioner tells us who needs support. Emergency and crisis requests are triaged immediately.

  2. 02

    Conversation & triage

    Within one working day

    A practitioner calls to understand need, risk, existing plans and what has already been tried. We say honestly whether we're the right fit.

  3. 03

    Plan & start

    Typically within a week

    We agree outcomes, frequency, named workers and safeguarding arrangements, then begin delivery with paperwork in place.

  4. 04

    Review & outcomes

    At agreed intervals

    We measure progress against the agreed outcomes, report in writing and attend reviews or multi-agency meetings as required.
