What happens next?

A referral is made with your consent

Once accepted you are allocated a worker to support you

You and your engagement worker will meet somewhere convenient for you to talk about your strengths and the things you need help with, creating a full assessment of your needs
-
You will work together to agree key areas of support, set some goals and then work to achieve these
This can be through regular a weekly meeting, conversations, positive activities, group work or advice session. This support will be flexible to meet your needs.
