EMERGENCY Residential Care Referrals
If you require an emergency placement, we provide a fast responsive service to Local Authorities across the country who require immediate placements for young people for any period of time. Our accommodation is supported by our care staff and is fully furnished ready for any young person.
Assessment of Needs and Risk
When a referral is received by Bright Secure Future the following list is taken into consideration:
- Assessment of Locality Report
- Assessment of Risk of harm towards others
- Assessment of Vulnerability
- Assessment of Emotional Coping Strategies
- Assessment of Educational Needs
- Assessment of Independent Living Skills to be developed
- Assessment of young persons ability to mix with current group
After assessments are conducted a decision is made with regards to our ability to accept the referral. We do however welcome the opportunity to meet with the young person face-to-face to conduct these assessments by completing an in depth review. This allows us to get to know the young persons and assess our ability to support them.
Young people are encouraged to slowly take responsibility for their lives and build on their living skills. Where there is moderate learning difficulty or behavioural issues with the young person we work with other supporting agencies to address their behaviour and help with emotional coping strategies.

There will be be occasions where an emergency is referred to us. In this situation, it is recommended that the young person joins us on our emergency or intensive package for 28 days until they are offered additional support and settled within this period.
