Referrals

Referrals are accepted by professional agencies only. Referrals can be made over the telephone. Unfortunately, we cannot accept referrals from individuals such as family members, friends or the young person themselves. We do not provide emergency direct access. Referrals are accepted under LHC’s selection and allocation and equal opportunities policy.

Appeals

Where a referral request has been refused and the applicant or their referrer is not satisfied with the reasons given, they have the right to appeal the decision. Appeals should be made within 10 working days of receipt of the written decision using the accompanying appeals form. Once received an appeals meeting will be arranged within 5 working days chaired by a Service Manager at which the applicant and their referrer have the opportunity to state why they disagreed with the decision. An appeal decision will then be made within 3 working days.

Staff and Management

Seacole is staffed 24 hours a day by a Team Leader, full time Project Workers and night staff on a rotational basis.
