How to access our services |
|
| People can apply for our accommodation and support through
completing a waiting list application form or by referral from a range
of local agencies. The Department operates referral and risk assessment
procedures and undertakes detailed individual support planning in partnership
with key workers. This provides an individually tailored package of
support to clients/tenants, which is subject to ongoing monitoring
and review. Our activities are subject to monitoring by independent
auditors, external monitoring by the Welsh Assembly Government, our
statutory partners and the Supporting People teams of local authorities.
We also provide move-on support to former tenants of these schemes and floating support when needed, both client-specific and generic, to vulnerable tenants of the Association’s general needs stock. We are developing our services in the spirit of “Supporting People in other forms of accommodation, as well as those in NWHA tenancies. |
