Referrals and Commissioning
How to refer a young person to Hub Haven Ltd, what we need, and how quickly we respond.
How we accept referrals
Hub Haven Ltd accepts referrals from placing authorities through three routes:
- Other framework arrangements: we are happy to engage with regional framework conversations on request
- Spot purchase: direct enquiry from any local authority or partner
- Commissioning Alliance Dynamic Purchasing Vehicle (RESI DPV): we are registered on the Ealing Council Atamis portal (C0117)
* Who we are well-matched for *
We are a sole-placement therapeutic home, not a multi-occupancy setting. We are best matched to young people who will benefit from:
A small, predictable environment with consistent staff
A trauma-informed, attachment-aware therapeutic approach
2:1 staffing during waking hours, with sleep-in cover overnight
Strong individual care planning, key work, and identity support
A planned route to family, foster care, or supported independence
* What we need with a referral *
To make a matching decision, please send the following alongside your initial enquiry:
• Care plan and placement plan
• Current risk assessment, including any history of incidents or absconding
• Recent health information, including any diagnoses, medication, and CAMHS involvement
• Recent education information, including PEP and any EHCP
• Chronology of placements and significant events
• Any legal orders (Care Order, Section 20, Deprivation of Liberty Order)
• Contact details for the social worker, IRO, and any therapist or specialist involved
* Our response time *
• Initial acknowledgement: within 24 hours of receiving the enquiry
• Matching decision: within 72 hours of receiving complete referral information
• Pre-placement meeting and home visit: arranged within 7 days of a positive matching decision
* Contact our placement team *
