Due to a recent increase in referrals, we're currently unable to schedule new home visits until after Christmas. However, phone support is still available. If you believe you or the family you'd like to refer could benefit from this option, please complete the form as usual and we'll be in touch.
This application form is for families who are in crisis and may be vulnerable, and as a result may qualify for a home visit. Please read through the criteria below before continuing with the application to check if you, or the person you are referring, meets one or more of the criteria:
- Have triplets, quads or more
- Have suffered a parental or child bereavement and you are struggling to care for your multiples
- One or both parents have a severe medical condition that requires hospital stays or operations and it’s impacting on your ability to care for your children
- Parents who are suffering from severe post-natal depression or mental health issues
- Twins, triplets or more who have medical conditions and/or may be in hospital/or split babies at home and in hospital (if all other avenues of support have been exhausted)
If you are a health professional, please only complete this form if you are the professional who's actively involved with the family you are applying for and will be the named contact throughout the support given by Twins Trust. If you're in the process of ending your support but you feel the family would benefit from our help please email – [email protected] or call a member of the team on 01252 332344 option 2.
Please complete the rest of the form providing as much detail as possible about the family you're referring, the support they're currently receiving from all agencies involved and what specific support from Twins Trust the family are in need of. Please note we cannot offer help with resolving housing issues, debt management/benefit applications, respite/childcare, long-term/weekly visits or counselling.
The information provided in this form will be processed in line with our Family Crisis Support privacy policy and consent statement.
