How to refer a family to Home-Start Knowsley

We suggest that you talk to the family and tell them how Home-Start might be able to help them. You must ask their permission before you refer them to us. You can then make the referral to us using the form on this page.

We will discuss the referral and check that the referral meets our criteria, and if it does, an Organiser will visit the family within one week, to clarify their needs and discuss the support we can offer. We will then contact you with the information about the nature and level of support offered by Home-Start Knowsley.
