Submitting a referral form:

·        A member of the team will review the information

If the referral is for Emotional Wellbeing / Mental Health Concerns

·        We will be in contact with the young person and/or their family by telephone to obtain further information about the concerns and discuss the best support options.

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.

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- We are currently experiencing unprecedented numbers of referrals requesting Autism and ADHD assessment. Plans are in place to work through the backlog of referrals and to provide clarity on next steps for families and professionals.
Please be assured that we will contact you as soon as we can. Thank you for your patience.
Please only contact us if you have concerns regarding a young person’s mental health presentation.
