As the independent referring organisation you will receive referrals from GPs, and/or Health & Social Care professionals or community and voluntary sector and self-referral. There will be one telephone number allocated to the Making Connections Walsall project which the Provider will supply.

The Provider must currently have the infrastructure in place to meet the needs of the MCW Programme. For each individual referral the provider will ensure a Safe and Well visit is carried out if one has not already been undertaken.
