Referrals
Assessment of Needs and Risks
For those in need of an emergency placement, our rapid and responsive service is available to Local Authorities nationwide seeking immediate accommodations for young individuals, regardless of the duration. Our well-equipped and fully furnished residences are backed by dedicated care staff, ready to support any young person in a timely manner. We prioritize creating a welcoming environment to ensure their immediate needs are met during their stay.
Upon receiving a referral at Bright Secure Future, we carefully consider the following factors:
- Assessment of Locality Report
- Assessment of Risk of harm towards others
- Assessment of Vulnerability
- Assessment of Emotional Coping Strategies
- Assessment of Educational Needs
- Assessment of Independent Living Skills to be developed
- Assessment of the young person’s ability to integrate with the current group
After conducting these assessments, a decision is made regarding our capacity to accept the referral. However, we highly value the chance to meet the young person face-to-face for a thorough review, allowing us to understand them better and evaluate our ability to provide support.
Our approach involves encouraging young individuals to gradually assume responsibility for their lives and enhance their living skills. In cases of moderate learning difficulties or behavioral issues, we collaborate with supporting agencies to address behavior and assist with emotional coping strategies.
We Prioritize Referrals
We assess each referral placement based on individual needs
We provide personalized, holistic support packages for young people, enabling them to participate in activities that will equip them for independent living.
Our housing options feature a range of premium properties, including one, two, and three-bedroom houses. Each room is available for single occupancy, catering to the specific needs of each young person.
We prioritize addressing the needs of various referral placements, including unaccompanied asylum-seeking individuals, those transitioning from care, and those requiring urgent and emergency accommodation at the age of 16 and above.
What to Do in Case of an Emergency Situation
For urgent referrals, you have the option to contact our head office during regular business hours from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm at 0247 666507, or reach out to our 24-hour manned mobile helpline at 07379 305531 / 07426 504215.
Young people can be referred to us via email by either completing the online form or directly emailing us at referrals@bsfmidlands.co.uk. Additionally, risk assessment information regarding the young person’s risk level must be provided.
Completion of the referral form is essential to tailor the right support package. We offer a phased transition, providing the young person with an opportunity for a planned move, including a one-night stay before joining us permanently.
In emergency situations, it is advised that the young person joins our emergency or intensive package for 28 days. This allows them to receive immediate support until additional assistance is offered, ensuring a settled transition within this period.
