Fast is a capacity problem, not a paperwork problem.
Most providers are slow to urgent referrals for the same reason: they do not have a property or the staff, and it takes them two weeks to establish that. We maintain access to suitable properties and an established workforce specifically so we can answer the question quickly — including when the answer is no.
What we will not do is shorten the assessment. For a SIL placement we still complete compatibility and risk assessment, because a placement that breaks down in a month leaves the participant worse off than the delay would have.
