One referral point. We assess for fit, safety, and suitability — then match to the right programme.

How referrals work

1. Complete the form

Everyone applies through the same form — whether you're a parent, school, professional, or self-referring. It takes a few minutes.

2. We review within 48 hours

We check for fit, safety, and suitability. Not everyone is right for our programmes — and that's OK.

3. We get in touch

If it's a good fit, we'll explain the most appropriate access route and confirm next steps.

Who can apply?

  • • Schools and SENCOs
  • • NHS teams and social prescribers
  • • Council and early help teams
  • • Parents and carers
  • • Self-referrals (adults)

Not sure if it's right?

Email [email protected] and we'll have a quick chat. No commitment, no pressure.
