Information for Parents

We understand that it can be difficult knowing where to turn for support, so we’ve put together a list of useful links to help you find the right person to discuss the needs of your Child/family.

• Your GP may be able to help with referral for assessments.
• If your Child is in education it’s worth reaching out to their nursery, School, College to see if they are able to offer any additional support or advice.
• If you have an allocated Social Worker, you can contact them to discuss additional support requirements.
• If you don’t already have an allocated Social Worker you can contact your local Children’s Services to enquire about services that may be available to you and your family. We’ve listed some local authorities below:
