Our thorough matching process explores whether we are able to meet the individual needs of each family and assesses the likely impact on our existing group of families. We will closely examine relevant assessments and background history from the placing authority before considering whether we can formally express an interest in a placement. Additional information will be sought through a Viability Assessment prior to admission, and will include an introductory meeting with the family either virtually or in person. We aim to respond to all enquiries within 48 hours.
