How can I refer?
We welcome self-referrals or referrals from GPs, Nurseries, Childminders, Schools, Paediatricians, Midwives and Health Visitors – in fact anyone can refer a family to the service.
All you need is consent of the family, contact details and information about their challenges that would help us assess the level of need and establish if we are the right service for them.
We welcome referrals from anyone!
What will happen next?
We will look at the information on the referral form and contact the referrer and Family to gather more information and to ensure the correct consent has been gained and we have the right information to ensure that this is the right support service for the family. They will then be contacted to arrange a first visit OR signposted to a more appropriate service to meet the Family’s needs.
If the family is on our waiting list for support, the family will receive a dedicated ‘checking-in’ contact at regular intervals until they are allocated a Malachi Family Support Worker.
