Referral Procedure and Review Process

Review Process

From the Initial Care and Education plans devised on admission, a series of reviews will take place.

Initial Review

This review is arranged at the point of admission and usually takes place between 7 and 10 days after admission. The local authority social worker and Moore House Care & Education senior staff will attend the meeting. The purpose of the review is to discuss the admission and young person's response, consider the Initial Personal Plan, and set out the aims of the assessment. The key teacher and key worker will meet on a weekly basis to review progress and begin to devise the Individual Care and Education Plans.

6 Week Review

The purpose of this review is to discuss and consider a more comprehensive care and education plan. This is known as the Personal Plan and will be presented in draft form at the meeting. This review is part of the LAC process and will normally be chaired by the local authority reviewing officer. Following this review they key teacher and key worker will continue to meet on a weekly basis to maintain a clear focus and monitor progress. This weekly meeting will be maintained for the first six months of the placement.

6 Month Review

After the initial 6 week period, the Personal Plan will be reviewed twice per year at the LAC 6 month review. Again, the local authority reviewing officer will chair this. The review will consider progress over the 6 month period and set new targets for the future. The key teacher and key worker will meet on a monthly basis thereafter unless the young person moves into a period of crisis.
