Aimed at:
The principle objectives of Headway Nottingham are to promote the understanding of all aspects of brain injury and to provide information, support and services to those living in Nottinghamshire who have sustained a brain injury, along with their families and carers.
Our Values
We follow the social model of disability
We treat people as individuals with individual needs and work to remove the barriers that prevent people from playing a full part in society.
We identify and maximise potential
We work with staff, service users, volunteers, families and carers to provide opportunities to meet the needs of those we support.
We are professional
We conduct ourselves in a way that gains the respect and admiration of people inside and outside of our organisation.
We protect vulnerable adults
We are committed to ensuring that whilst using our services the risks to vulnerable people are minimised.
We respect each other
Everyone has a different, yet equally important role to play and we recognise and respect different skills and knowledge.
We are accountable
Everyone is accountable for their actions and were we to make a mistake we would do all we can to learn from it.
We are honest and trustworthy
We ensure that our actions are beyond reproach and we maintain confidentiality with those we work with and for.
We listen and learn
We ensure that our support and our services remain relevant to the needs of our clients, and of the highest quality by listening to the client, their families and other professionals. This enables us to respond in an informed and effective manner to the ever-changing landscape of rehabilitation services in Nottinghamshire.
At Headway Nottingham we are happy to accept referrals from the individual themselves, a carer or family member or a professional working with the client. We will need some basic information which can be provided using our referral forms. Once we have received the referral we will contact the individual or their carer to arrange a home visit so that we can find out a little more about them, and their support requirements, before we work together to formulate a plan to start moving forward.
If you are referring yourself or a loved one, please use the carer/self_referral_form, and send it to us via email to sayhello@headwaynottingham.org.uk or in the post using the details in the Contact Us section of the website. If you are a professional wanting to refer a client into Headway Nottingham please use the professional_referral_form and send it to us at sayhello@headwaynottingham.org.uk.
