We’re often asked what actually happens after a referral is made, so here’s a brief walkthrough of a typical journey.

First case management visit

  1. A referral comes in from a family, solicitor or other professional
  2. We arrange an initial conversation to understand the situation
  3. We match the client with a case manager whose experience suits their needs
  4. The case manager carries out a first visit, focused mainly on listening

The first visit is mostly about listening — understanding what matters most to the client and their family before any formal planning begins.

It’s a relationship that often continues for years, so getting that first meeting right matters a great deal.
