If you are making a referral to The Izzy Project on behalf of someone else, please read the following information before completing our referral form. 

Who can we support?

The Izzy Project can offer support to pregnant women and mothers of children up to the age of one year, who either:

  • Live in Hackney;
  • Are registered at a GP within City and Hackney;
  • Are under the care of Homerton Hospital; or
  • Were under the care of Homerton Hospital for their most recent baby.

Referrals can be made for women:

  • Who are at risk of, or experiencing, separation from their baby at birth or in the first year after birth as the result of a family court order following birth;
  • Whose baby is part of a Child Protection Plan or undergoing assessment for one. 

Please read the following information before completing our referral form.

Our support is always subject to capacity and the location of the woman being referred.

  • It can take at least 2-3 weeks for us to review a referral and start the process of offering support.
  • We will always do our best to offer support, but it is difficult for us to respond quickly to urgent referrals and there is more chance of this if we receive the referral earlier in a woman’s pregnancy.
  • We aim to work as collaboratively as possible with referrers and recognise the skills and opportunities referrers have to co-support women accessing our services.
