date are not
The range of help on offer

Where does lassn fit in
leeds?
signposting, signposting
plus, and referral
Signposting Signposting Plus Referral
Recognises unmet need Checks info is accurate and up to
date
Makes concrete arrangement to
attend
Suggests a place where this might
be met
Makes sure the person knows how
to get there – gives a map or phone
number
Ensures person knows who they will
be seeing and when
Gives details of how to contact Helps prepare the person for what
to expect
Explores potential
communication/support needs
Helps person to gather all the info
they are likely to need
Completes referral form
Checks outcome of referral
what to do if there isn’t
someone obvious who can help
 Be aware of your own
limitations, and how this makes
you feel
 Don’t give advice about things
you’re not sure of
 Talk to the other people who
are helping
 Try and signpost to generalist
providers – like Citizen’s Advice
Bureau
 Don’t give people a false sense
of hope
