Submitting a referral form:

If the referral is a request for Autism and/or ADHD assessment

·        We will email you a link to provide further information about your concerns.
·        We will also contact the education or childcare setting.
·        We aim to send out these links as soon as possible.

If you have an urgent concern about the wellbeing or safety of the person being referred:

Submitting a Neurodevelopmental Questionnaire:

·        The information submitted by parents/carers will be reviewed alongside information provided by education or childcare providers.
·        Following assessment of the information, a decision will be made whether to progress referrals for assessment, or we may signpost referrals for the most appropriate support.
·        This decision will be communicated to the family by phone or letter.
·        Referrals progressing for assessment will be given information about their right to choose an assessment provider.

Please note- the approximate time for a decision to be made from sending neurodevelopmental questionnaires is six months.
Please do not contact us before this time unless you have concerns regarding a young person’s mental health presentation.
