MEAM is a coalition of national charities, that represents over 1,300 frontline organisations across England.
Working together they support local areas across the country to develop effective, coordinated services that directly improve the lives of people facing multiple disadvantage such as -
- homelessness
- substance misuse
- contact with the criminal justice system
- mental ill health
Adults experiencing this combination of problems may fall through the gaps between services and systems, making it harder for them to address their problems and lead fulfilling lives.
The MEAM approach provides an opportunity to bring together key local stakeholders across all sectors, to focus on fresh thinking towards identifying new approaches to tackling multiple and complex needs in Hull.
This will require that services offer a flexible approach appropriate for the client. Therefore, organisations making a referral into the MEAM project must be prepared to be involved in the client’s care plans.
Referrals are discussed and agreed by stakeholders at quarterly operational meetings.
The referral is designed in two sections, within the form below –
- MEAM referral
- NDT assessment
Please ensure all completed referrals are emailed to MeamReferral@hullcc.gov.uk
