Referrals & Admissions

At Libertas Children’s Home, we offer both planned and emergency placements for young people aged 7–17. Our referral process is child-centred, efficient, and designed to ensure the best possible match between the young person’s needs and our care provision.

Planned Admissions

All planned referrals are assessed by a multidisciplinary team including professionals from social care, education, and health. We carefully evaluate:

 

Reception - 24 Hour Direct Line
  • Whether Libertas can meet the young person’s individual needs
  • Compatibility with existing residents through an initial impact and matching assessment

Where possible, we arrange introductory visits for the child and key adults, and hold a pre-placement meeting with professionals to:

  • Share all key reports and assessments
  • Agree on placement objectives and timescales
  • Confirm any external support needed
  • Finalise a transition plan

A placement planning meeting is held within statutory timeframes to formalise the child’s initial care plan in collaboration with their social worker.

We understand time pressures in commissioning and aim to communicate swiftly and transparently throughout the referral process.

    Emergency Admissions

    We accept emergency placements 24/7, subject to availability. Decisions are typically made within an hour of initial contact.

    Please note: Out-of-hours referrals must be made by phone.

    An initial review meeting is held within 72 hours of placement to ensure suitability and plan next steps.

    Placement Enquiries & Visits

    Our dedicated Placements Team is available to discuss referrals, arrange home visits, or meet with commissioners to explore bespoke care solutions.
