referrals.

any organisation or individual can make a referral.

If you are a professional referring a client, we may contact you for further information and to inform you of the referral outcome. All referrals are assessed and prioritised according to need, risk and current support that may already be in place. We endeavour to respond to referrals within 72 hours. 

Please note LDAS is funded to support Low/ Medium assessed risk cases for women and girls aged 16 and over. If this case is a high-risk case (scores 72 plus or Professional judged to be high on the Merit Risk Assessment), please refer to the appropriate commissioned IDVA provision for appropriate high risk support.
