Parents are referred to Safe Haven due to concerns for their parenting and require an in-depth assessment of their parenting capacity.
We accept referrals nationwide from Local Authorities, Courts, Guardians, Legal Representatives and Solicitors. Parents with children of all ages will be considered, discussions will take place with the referring agent and relevant professionals to consider if Safe Haven is appropriate for the family. In some instances, the parent referred may be considered to present with some level of risk to their child or the environment. As a result, additional information will be required prior to a decision being made as to whether Safe Haven is a suitable placement.
All referrals will go through a screening process to consider the presenting concerns and level of risk in addition, careful consideration to matching between current and proposed families awaiting placement.
