Make a referral for an individual
National Care Group's Progression Model
Our progression model focuses on providing the right accommodation and support for an individual at every stage of life.
We work closely with commissioners, local authorities, and other organisations to provide opportunities for people to progress, develop skills, and gain greater control of their lives. We can also provide greater interventions and more managed environments when people’s needs increase.
Our model is designed to encourage people to achieve their potential, enabling them to achieve positive outcomes and greater levels of control over their own lives.
The first step in our process is to match people with the right environment, ensuring they receive the right support to continue their journey toward maximising their strengths and independence.

Our Referrals Process
- Get in touch. Speak to our friendly referrals team, complete the form on this page, or email us and we’ll gather all the information we need to start the process.
- Assessing needs. We’ll arrange a one-to-one assessment to spend time with the person, their family, and others that are important to them. We will get to know their current situation, support and accommodation needs, and ambitions.
- Explore options. Where appropriate, we will arrange for you to visit the recommended service, meet the team and other people we support, and ask questions.
- Personalised support plan. We’ll produce a support proposal detailing the arrangements and the support hours required. We’ll keep you up-to-date every step of the way.
- Transition support. Once the funding is agreed, we’ll agree on a start date and begin the transition arrangements. Our local team will ensure everything runs smoothly.
