We are registered with Ofsted and accept referrals nationwide from local authority, Social Services Departments, Health Authorities, Solicitors or directly from Courts.

All parents referred to Rishana Homes for assessment are referred due to concerns for the safety of the child outside of a supervised, protective environment.  In some cases the parent will be considered to present some level of risk to the environment.  In these cases the full details of referral history are discussed with the referring social worker.

Referrals must in the first instance be discussed with the Manager or Case Managers and admissions are usually pre-planned.  All referrals are given thorough consideration. Consideration will be given to admitting parents with convictions for Schedule I offences, where there is evidence of changed behaviour.  These cases are carefully monitored.
