A Structured Route Back to Community Life
Tier 4 Step-Down Care UK
Our Tier 4 step-down care supports young people across the UK moving from inpatient mental health settings into community life, with clinical oversight and family coordination.
In detail
For commissioners and ICBs, that structure is the point: young people can move on from costly inpatient beds with confidence the community support in place is properly staffed and won't break down within weeks.
For families, it means a plan explained in advance, not a sudden discharge and a phone number to call if things go wrong.
How to refer
- 01Get in touch. Contact us by phone, email or via our website. Our team is available Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm.
- 02Initial consultation. We discuss the individual's needs, current circumstances and the level of support required, usually within the same working day.
- 03Needs assessment. Our Clinical Lead conducts a thorough assessment, working alongside the referrer, family and any existing professionals involved in the person's care.
- 04Care package design. We develop a bespoke care plan in collaboration with the Local Authority, ICB and family. All plans are person-centred and reviewed regularly.
- 05Mobilisation. Once agreed, we can mobilise a care package: in many cases within 24 to 48 hours for urgent referrals, and within 5 working days for planned packages.
Emergency Referrals
We aim to respond within 2 hours.
Mobilisation within 24 hours where operationally possible.

As a new provider, these are the targets every referral is measured against, not a claim of years doing it.
