1. Referral and Intake Review

Once a referral is submitted, all documents are reviewed to confirm suitability and identify the type of assessment required. This may include court orders, brief material, affidavits, chronology documents and any relevant reports.


If the matter is accepted, the referrer receives confirmation along with an outline of next steps.
