In line with funding and good practice we have improved the way we record for our families to include the SHANARRI wellbeing indicators.
As a referrer your role will be to indicate, on the referral form, any areas you have concerns by ticking in the relevant columns. When we conduct the initial visit we will then do an assessment, which we will review during the time the family is being supported.
We hope this will not entail any more work for you as busy professionals but will allow us all to work with the family in a very joined up way.
Please feel free to pass the new forms on to colleagues I have missed.
We are in the exciting position of currently training 10 new volunteers so please think about the project when working with families, we are accepting new referrals at this time.
