Referral to Local NHS Services for Assessment and Diagnosis

If your child is >6 years of age and attends school the school should be referring the child rather than the GP.

A new referral pathway was established in June 2024 allowing schools to refer directly for ADHD and autism assessments. This change recognises that schools are better placed to gather the necessary information and refer rather than the GP.

Please see this website which goes through the referral process. If needed please pass this information onto school so they can read the content and refer you on.
