Mental health referrals and allocations

How do I get a referral?

Referrals can come from any source including self-referrals.

Where possible an up-to-date Care Plan and Risk Assessment should be provided (a referral form will be sent before the start of our services).

The referral pathway will be widely publicised and will be easily accessible for people to self-refer.

Referrals will be triaged, and a strength-based needs assessment and risk assessment will be completed. Care Act Assessments are offered to all.

A multi-agency ‘Referrals, Allocation and Case Review Panel’ meets monthly to discuss current referrals to the service and the progress of customers. The panel will review support to make sure there is a continued focus on recovery and building resilience to maximise move on opportunities.

The panel will include:

• Broadacres Scheme Manager (chair)
• NYC Commissioning Team
• Local Community Mental Health Team (NHS)
• NYC Mental Health Locality Team
• District/Borough Housing Team
• Where appropriate other representatives will be invited e.g. North Yorkshire Horizons, Probation, Community Safety Partnership.
