For Local Authorities

A trusted partner for London commissioners

We provide local authority commissioners and social workers with a clear referral process, transparent outcomes and a placement model designed for stability and measurable progress.

Referral process

01

Initial enquiry

Local authority contacts our referrals team with placement requirements and a brief young-person summary.

02

Matching & assessment

We review the referral against vacancies and the young people already in placement to assess fit and likely stability.

03

Pre-placement meeting

Where appropriate, a meeting with the young person, social worker and our management to agree the support plan.

04

Placement & review

Structured first-72-hour induction, with formal placement reviews at agreed intervals.

Two provisions, one referral route

Referrals for both provisions come through the same route: contact our referrals team and we will advise which provision best fits the young person.

Supported Accommodation (16+)

Placement in one of our three London homes for young people aged 16–18+. Staff on-site throughout the day and evening, overnight sleep-in cover, Ofsted regulated under the supported accommodation standards.

Floating Support (19–25)

Visiting support for young adults aged 19–25. A named support worker visits at agreed intervals to help them stay settled and build independent living skills. Where accommodation is needed, we can help arrange or provide it; support is always delivered by visiting, with no on-site staffing.
