Home-Start Kernow
There for parents when they need us most, because childhood can't wait
Are you a professional looking to refer a family?
If you are working with families and you feel a parent would benefit from our service, you can support them to self refer or you can refer them yourself. We offer group and 1 to 1 support, please complete a referral if you feel a family requires support and we will discuss the elements of this support with the family.
Referral Process
- Submit the referral form below to info@homestartkernow.org.uk and one of the team will be in touch within 2 weeks.
- Please note that we do not offer Home-Visiting or Digital Support for families with a Child Protection level of need, but can take referrals for groups both in person and online for these families. Families on a Children in Need Plan will be assessed on a case by case basis.
- We will only accept referrals if there is a child under 5 in the home.
,Referral Forms
At Home-Start Kernow we know that everyone’s time is valuable so if you are thinking about making a referral with a view to specifically accessing home visiting support, we have put together a few questions that you can ask yourself before completing the referral form. Our aim is that if the answer to these questions is a yes then you can complete the process knowing that the family meet the criteria of being early intervention/ prevention and you as the referrer have a clear understanding of the specific areas where the family would like to address change.
These questions have been written specifically with Home Visiting & Digi support in mind and if you would like your family to be supported through one of our groups, either face to face or online, then please continue to fill out the referral form ensuring that you mark the appropriate options for Group support.
We will always give you guidance as to the current situation regarding volunteer availability. You can download a referral form by clicking below.
