Before you complete the form there are some key points to remember:
- The young person and parent/guardian (if appropriate) must be aware of and consent to the referral and be aware of the reason fro referral as this may be discussed at a home visit.
- All referrals will be allocated to workers in the locality where the young person lives.
- All submitted referrals will be assessed in order to identify the most appropriate support available either Targeted Youth Support or Integrated Youth Support. In some cases it may be recommended that support should be offered by appropriate partner agencies.
- Referrals are accepted from professionals only and it is expected that concerns or risk factors identified can be evidenced.
