Professionals

We have a new way of referring - this initiative has been agreed collaboratively with the school SENCO service, Educational Psychology service, countywide Community Paediatric Service, Children’s Services Referral Management Centre (RMC) and CYP ADHD/ASD service.

These changes will take effect from the 1st January 2019.

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). 

Referrals can be made  by health, social care and education professionals via the Referral Management Centre.
