How to Make a Referral

Anyone can making a referral to Noah’s Ark. Consent must always be given, either by the child’s parent/carer, or from the young person themselves, if they are over 16 and able to give their consent.

A referral can be made by completing the referral form and are then assessed by our multidisciplinary panel. This process typically takes two weeks.
