Working with you to place the right service user in the right home.

We know your time is limited and your caseload is busy. We've designed our referral, assessment, and ongoing-management processes around that fact, so partnering with Diverse Services takes work off your desk, not adds it.

Our service promise to professionals

Six things you can expect from us, every time.

24h

24-hour response

A written assessment outcome, with clear reasoning whether the answer is yes or no, within 24 hours of receiving a complete referral.

Single named contact

Your referral isn't handed down a chain. Our Business Development team handles initial enquiries directly and routes you straight to the relevant Service Manager.

We attend MDT care reviews

Diverse Services is a clinical partner, not a passive accommodation provider. We attend MDT care reviews under the Community Mental Health Framework, share digital records with consent, and contribute to clinical decision-making.

Step-up & step-down

If a placement needs more or less support, we adjust within our own pathway, keeping the same keyworker and the same home where clinically possible.

!

Real-time incident reports

Safeguarding and clinical incidents reported within agreed timeframes, in the format that fits your reporting cycle, not ours.

Honest when we can't help

If we can't safely meet a service user's needs, we'll say so on day one, with a clear rationale, rather than accept and break the placement later.

Pathway

Four levels of support. One keyworker. One home, where possible.

Our graduated pathway is designed to remove the cliff-edges that disrupt recovery, letting service users transition without losing the relationships they rely on.

High Support

24-hour awake staff, on-call manager, full MDT input, structured therapeutic programme. For serious mental illness, dual diagnosis, complex behaviours, or post-discharge stabilisation.

Medium Support

09:00–17:00 daytime support. Step-down from high support, structured weekday support remains essential but overnight cover is no longer clinically indicated.

Low Support

Light-touch daytime support for service users with established stability, working toward independent tenancy. Independent living skills, benefits, and employment routes.

Floating Support

Outreach to those who have moved into independent tenancies. Preserves the keyworker relationship and prevents the cliff-edge of complete discharge.

How we work with statutory teams

Clinical, not just custodial.

Multidisciplinary team in-house

Psychology Lead, Assistant Psychologists, Nutritionist, and trained support workers all sit within a single management structure, not a patchwork of subcontractors. Decisions are made internally and quickly.

Strengths-based formulation

Every support plan is built around abilities, interests, and aspirations, not just diagnoses. Co-produced with the resident, reviewed monthly with their keyworker.

Outcome measures we share

Stability, social connectedness, life skills, and pathway progress, measured against the agreed care package and reported on a predictable cadence.

Digital records

Support plans, daily logs, incident reports, and medication records all online. Auditable, searchable, and accessible to commissioners and care co-ordinators with consent, not paper folders in a cupboard.

De-escalation before escalation

24-hour awake staffing plus an on-call duty manager means situations are managed in-house wherever clinically safe. The result: fewer A&E attendances, fewer crisis admissions.

Mental Capacity Act & safeguarding

All frontline staff complete mandatory training in MCA, safeguarding of vulnerable adults, and best-practice care, with regular refresher training. Safeguarding alerts raised promptly and transparently.
