We welcome referrals from parents and carers, local authorities, social work teams, schools, NHS professionals and healthcare professionals.
Once a referral is received, we carry out an initial discussion and assessment to understand the child's needs, routines, risks and support requirements. We will only accept referrals where we are confident we can safely and appropriately meet the child's needs.
For emergencies or immediate safeguarding concerns, please use the relevant urgent service rather than waiting for a website response.
At North Care Services, we are passionate about making a positive difference in the lives of children and families.
