We are a small space with a limited number of onsite staff. For health and safety reasons we are unable to have placements of more than one person at a time.

We retain the right to have a trial period and to limit the amount of time that people spend with us.

This is when agencies encourage their clients to ‘self -refer’ or contact us independent of the agency. These will be treated by us as direct referrals requiring formal involvement of the agency.

We usually require clients of agencies to have support workers or family members with them onsite at all times.

Agency workers visiting the community gardens on an ad hoc basis for the purposes of placing a client are expected to identify themselves and the organisation they are working for.  A business card is ideal.

Any attempts to disguise the nature of the client/agency relationship will be regarded as misrepresentation.

We expect to develop a professional relationship between the Agency and the CSCGT. This means that we have:

• Full contact details of the agency and one principal person to liaise with about the client.

• Monthly reviews to discuss client progress
