A referral begins with suitability
A forensic background does not define a person. Our national team can discuss the broad support requirement and whether a further assessment is appropriate. This page is an enquiry pathway and does not confirm specialist forensic capacity or acceptance of a referral.
Clarify the responsibilities of each service
Justice, health, housing and disability services may have different responsibilities. A proposed arrangement needs a clear lead contact, the person’s consent or relevant authority, and clarity about any lawful conditions affecting support.
Plan the community transition
Discuss the living environment, support hours, worker competencies, relevant risk information and communication arrangements. The responsible teams must agree on safe handover and escalation processes before services commence.
Share sensitive information carefully
Do not upload or email court orders, offence histories, clinical reports or other sensitive documents through the initial website enquiry. First ask the national team whether the referral is suitable and how any necessary information should be shared securely.
Scope and limitations
Prime 1 Care does not represent this enquiry pathway as legal advice, forensic assessment, psychiatric treatment, a custodial service or crisis response. Any regulated clinical service requires a separately confirmed qualified practitioner.
