FAQs 

What referrals would the CYP service not accept?

We always try to help where we can and have an excellent team of trained and competent staff and volunteers so if in doubt ask us and we’ll see what we can do. If we can’t help we will try to find services that can.

Will you take a referral without the client’s permission?

We need parental consent from non-abusive parent to commence work with children and to plan support tailored to individual. CYP aged 13+ can self refer.

What happens when we receive the referral?

The CYP service will meet with the parent / carer and / or referrer to conduct initial interview and assessment paperwork. This helps us to learn about the childs experiences and how they have been impacted which allows us to provide the right support. We will discuss support options with you and let you know when support will start. We also involve CYP in this plan and they will be able participate as part of our introduction and getting to know you sessions.

Where will support take place?

We will usually meet children in schools. This is usually a familiar and safe environment but if for any reason this is not suitable we can consider other options. The priority is that CYP are comfortable in our meetings.

    ASK FOR ANI CODEWORD

    If you are experiencing domestic abuse and need immediate help, ask for ‘ANI’ in a participating pharmacy.
    ‘ANI’ stands for Action Needed Immediately. If a pharmacy has the ‘Ask for ANI’ logo on display, it means they’re ready to help. They will offer you a private space, provide a phone and ask if you need support from the police or other domestic abuse support services.
