The Nomination Process Clause Samples
The Nomination Process. 3.1 ASC and BHM have equal share on the split of nominations and nominations can be made by either a BHM Housing Officer or ASC Social Worker.
3.2 Nominations forms will be completed by the relevant social worker or housing officer (also known as the case officer) and submitted to the nominations panel at least 3 working days before the panel sits.
3.3 The relevant case officer will be allocated a time and date to present the nomination to the panel. The panel will then decide if the nomination is a suitable match for ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ House.
3.4 If the panel agree to the nomination, then a full assessment will be carried out BHM, after which, a formal offer will be made. An assessment will be carried out by BHM within 7 working days.
3.5 Should the nominee be an ASC client then the social worker must have sought funding approval to put in place the relevant care and support to ensure that the nominee has sufficient care to enable them to live as independently as possible.
3.6 The approval for the care and support must have been sought and agreed through the quality and monitoring (QAM) panel prior to going to the nominations panel.
3.7 Once at 90% capacity, any nominations will be prioritised based on overall benefit e.g. the resident will release a large family sized home or see a significant reduction in care costs as a result of the move.
3.8 On the occasion that a nomination is refused it will usually be for one of the following reasons set out below: • If the circumstances of the nominee have changed since they were last assessed and/ or if new information about the applicant has come to light which means that the applicant is no longer suitable for ECH • If a nominee does not meet the requirements for ECH, such as no support needs • If the applicant has a history of unacceptable behaviour that would prevent ▇▇▇▇▇ from offering a tenancy • If the property is unsuitable for the nominee • If there are local circumstances that have not been taken into account • Certain criminal convictions which will put others or the nominee at risk (TBA)
