Simply Connect Social Prescribing Directory

Simply Connect Social Prescribing Directory

Our service covers Canterbury, Faversham, Herne Bay, and Whitstable. If you provide a service to the communities within one or all of the above areas, and would like to be added to our directory, please email us at socialprescribing@redzebra.org.uk. Please note that you will need to adhere to the pledge below to become a service provider:

Social Prescribing Pledge – Agreed Service Providers

So that we can safely refer individuals to your service or activity and offer a consistent level of customer service to individuals who will be directed to you via Simply Connect, we ask you to agree to abide by the following:

• Acknowledge each referral made to you within 10 working days telling the individual when they can expect to receive service or a more detailed contact from you.

• If at any point you are unable to continue to take referrals due to loss of service or due to demand placing long waiting lists for your service/activity you commit to contacting us at the earliest possible opportunity.

• Abide by the Terms & Conditions of this website.

You must have the following in place where needed:

• Recognised constitution, set of rules or written governing document

 

• Safeguarding policies & procedures that are appropriate for your organisation/activity

• DBS checks for staff, trustee and volunteer roles that are eligible

• Insurance for your activities, staff and volunteers

• Health & Safety policies, risk assessments and procedures

• Information and data confidentiality policy and data protection policy

• Equality and diversity policy

• The authority of your organisation to add services to the directory and take referrals

By agreeing to have your information included on this website, you sign up to each element of this pledge.

If there are any elements of the above that will prove challenging for your organisation, please don’t walk away! Red Zebra Community Solutions can offer help and support if you need it to develop necessary policies and procedures, and Swale CVS is there to help local organisations in Faversham.
