Make a referral below

To proceed with the referral, we need you to have read the privacy notice, signed the authorisation form and the referral. These will come up as you progress with the form. This form allows us to determine whether a placement with nightstop is suitable for you, but also allows us to know what support you need. We ask questions about your current circumstances and any support needs you may have and assess whether this is something that can be managed during a placement. We will speak with you and any references or supporting agencies during the assessment process. If we feel that a placement will trigger or exacerbate any risk or support needs and have a detrimental effect on yourself or the hosts, we may not be able to arrange a placement. We will look at all referrals on a case-by-case basis. We cannot accept anyone that is high risk to themselves or others, have committed serious, violent, or sexual crime or have a history of arson. If a referral is sent after 3pm, we will try our best to complete for placement that day but cannot guarantee same day placement.
