Support available without a referral

You can request consultation support or access courses and workshops without a referral.

Consultations

Anyone seeking advice for an individual child can request a consultation.

Parent or Professional consultations

Consultations are usually held by telephone or video call (Teams) and take around an hour.

Follow-up consultations are available if families or professionals request them, once the initial advice and strategies have been implemented.
