What happens after a referral?
Step 1 – Referral
Schools complete the online referral form via the DSPL2 website.
Step 2 – Information Sharing
DSPL2 circulates referral information securely to attending professionals before the meeting so that everyone understands the young person's needs and comes prepared to contribute.
Step 3 – Multi-Agency Discussion
A 15-minute case discussion takes place during the Behaviour Surgery, focusing on:
- strengths and protective factors
- current concerns
- support already in place
- recommendations for next steps
- appropriate referrals and interventions
Step 4 – Agreed Actions
Clear actions and responsibilities are agreed during the meeting.
Step 5 – Recording Outcomes
The school records agreed actions and outcomes. DSPL2 maintains a record of attendance and the support discussed.
