Professionals

Our referral initiative has been agreed together with the school special educational needs co-ordinator (SENCO) service, Educational Psychology service, countywide Community Paediatric Service, Children’s Services Referral Management Centre (RMC) and Children and young people’s Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) service.

We believe the best approach for referral into the service is for schools and parents to work together to complete the referral pack. 

Professionals working with families, children and young people in situations where this is not possible should contact us for advice (for example; if the child is not currently in school). 

We only accept forms filled in via the word document online - please do not scan and upload.

Referrals can be made by health, social care and education professionals via the RMC. You can access the RMC’s webpage by clicking here.
