Meet and Greet Overview
The Meet and Greet service is for current or former Forward clients in need of practical and emotional support when travelling from a prison or community project to their move on address/area e.g. supported housing, residential rehab and detox.
Some things to be aware of:
We will need a comprehensive risk assessment attached to this form. If you're not able to do that, please email Recovery Support at recoverysupport@forwardtrust.org.uk. This will need to be completed ahead of the meet and greet. If the client is intoxicated at the start of the meet and greet or uses drugs/alcohol during the duration of the meet and greet it will be terminated and the client will need to make their own way from this point.
If the client is going to detox there may be some flexibility around alcohol use but this will need to be agreed ahead of the meet and greet.
If the client displays aggressive or abusive behaviour during the meet and greet it will likely be terminated to protect staff member/volunteer.
Recovery Support are not responsible for the client’s decision if they decide they do not want the meet and greet. Please note that you will need to complete a separate referral to the Recovery Support service ahead of requesting a meet and greet. You can view our privacy policy here.
