Following review of the referral information and risk assessments a matching risk assessment with our current residents will be carried out to assess the risks of this particular child. Should the child be deemed a suitable match a member of staff will visit the young person in their current placement and if both parties agree the young person will be invited to Woodford Children’s Home for an initial visit.
The visit is a perfect opportunity for them to ask questions, view the home and meet the team. If all goes well a place will be offered and a planning meeting will be held within the first two weeks so we can agree on the young person’s care plan, examine how the placement is progressing, discuss routine and expectations.
