17.1 Except in exceptional circumstances, GSL will have no involvement other than in an advisory capacity where Gloucestershire residents are placed in shared lives schemes outside Gloucestershire.
17.2 GSL carers may not provide services for people who are ordinarily resident in another county without the prior agreement of GSL.
17.3 GSL:
- reserves the right to decline referrals for arrangements for people who are ordinarily resident in another county
- will not make an arrangement for another local authority until the placing authority:
- has provided in writing all the information GSL requires to assess and manage potential risks and to support the arrangement
