Signposting and referrals take place when it becomes clear that another provider or another agency can provide more appropriate help or support than we can. There is a distinction to be made between signposting and referral:
When a person is signposted to further help, they are given all the necessary details to make an approach. It is then their responsibility to follow this up.
When a personis referred, staff take on the responsibility for facilitating initial contacts between the person and the referral point.
Whether someone is 'signposted' or 'referred' will depend on various factors, including their confidence level and ease of access to the referral point.
Someone may be signposted or referred for:
