Whilst
the telephone can establish
basic information it obviously
has inhibitors
in relation to confidentiality. To this end, whilst we are pleased for contact to be made by telephone in the first instance, the most important part of the referral process is to make a visit to Prospect House Childrens Home. |

This clearly offers a more accurate platform for the social worker to assess the environment and what it may have to offer in terms of a future plan of work. However, having made the initial contact by telephone, we would then ask that you send all appropriate information regarding the young person to enable us to consider in more depth the needs of the young person and how best they may be met. It also follows that one hopes this will give the individual a degree of confidence, and the feeling that although strangers, we have an interest. We would also hope, if it was felt to be appropriate, that the young person would make their initial visit with any members of their family who may also wish to assess for themselves the placement and what it has to offer. Clearly, as stated previously, it is important that we also work with significant family members and early contact with them is desirable. Following the initial visit, if the placement were to proceed, we would identify a mutually convenient date as soon as possible after the visit to arrange a pre-admission conference. The purpose of the meeting would be to look towards the needs of the young person, and how the "Team" can work to meet those needs, and to identify the specific contribution. Prospect House can make towards the identified goals. At
the conclusion of this meeting
an admission date would be
agreed and plans for the
young persons first four
weeks in placement which
the young person would be
part of agreeing. Alternatively you can email any referral to us at info@prospecthouse-childcare.co.uk.
