How can I start using Appletree
Our services are commissioned through local authority social care departments and care commissioning groups, as well as from private individuals. Referrals are often from a child or young person’s social worker or community nurse.
If you wish to make a private referral or you are in receipt of Direct Payment or personal budget and you wish to make a self-referral you can make a referral here:
The Referral Process
”How
If you are being referred to our services though your social worker or health care professional – they will make the decision based on their assessment of need as to how many hours you child / young person will be entitled to use from our services.
If you are purchasing our services privately we can provide up to 24 hours per day care and support, with a team of workers centered around your needs.
