Parents and carers can ask any health professional who knows their child to complete a referral form and send it in to the Child Development team.
Usually the GP, School Nurse or Health Visitor will refer a child, with the parents' permission. We can arrange for an interpreter or translator to attend the appointment, if required, provided prior notice has been received. Our department is in a public area and we would ask that you kindly supervise your children at all times during your visit. We link closely with a wide range of other teams and agencies in the area who work with children and families to support children's needs.
