1. Reason for IMCA referral

(i) Care Act Advocacy can often be more appropriate than IMCA for referrals about care reviews and safeguarding adults – contact us if you would like to discuss this.

(i) If a care and needs assessment/review has not been undertaken recently, you may need to make a referral for Care Act Advocacy. IMCAs are involved when it is time to make a decision on accommodation options.

(i) IMCAs do not offer support for financial issues. These may need to be referred to the Court of Protection.
