If you have noticed your child is feeling frequently sad, worried or anxious and feel they may need support from our team, please speak to a member of staff at your child’s school who will refer you directly to the service.
When we receive your child’s referral we will look at the information provided and decide whether our service is best to see your child or another service such as the Child Psychology Service.
The first appointment with us is referred to as the initial appointment or screening for both your child and you to attend. This is a safe place where you can discuss the worries and difficulties your child is experiencing, and we can explain how we can help and support you and your child. We can meet face to face or virtually and if we feel we can help your child we will involve you in the planning of your child’s care.
