GSL arrangements
7.1 Matching the person who needs care with the right GSL carer is the key to making a successful arrangement.
7.2 All arrangements will be subject to the availability of an appropriate carer who is able to meet the person’s needs.
7.3 Matching processes for emergency arrangements may of necessity be limited - see also section 9.
7.4 Under usual circumstances, when a referral is accepted GSL will:
- share anonymised information about the person who needs care with potential GSL carers
- share details of appropriate carers who have expressed an interest in providing a GSL arrangement with the referrer so that they can discuss options with the person
- arrange an introductory visit(s) between the person and their preferred carer(s)
- make a GSL arrangement where both the person and the carer wish to proceed
