What Happens After Referral

Initial Discussion and Scope Check

We will contact the family or referrer to understand what support is being requested, whether it is within TishAbility's non-regulated remit, and whether we may be a good fit.

Planning

If a good match, we'll work with the person and family to plan support that fits their needs and goals.

Delivery

Support begins, with regular communication with the person, family and other professionals.

Review

We regularly review support with the person and family to ensure it's working and adjust as needed.

Funding & Commissioning

Support may be arranged through Direct Payments, Personal Health Budgets, Education Budgets, family-funded arrangements, local authority arrangements, NHS or ICB arrangements, commissioner-funded support, spot purchase or partnership arrangements. We're happy to discuss how support can be funded.

Confidentiality

We take confidentiality seriously and will only share information with relevant parties with appropriate consent. Family data is stored securely and in compliance with GDPR.
