You can refer to us in a few different ways:

GP referral
- The most common route is for your GP or another primary‑care clinician to fill in a referral form and send it to our Integrated Hub.
- This is used when the service does not accept self‑referral or when a professional assessment is needed first.
Referral by other health or care professionals
- Specialists, speech‑and‑language therapists, or other professionals can refer you on your behalf, provided you give permission for us to use your information.
Children and young people referrals
- Parents or carers can refer their child or young person using the online form, or ask the child’s school to make a referral.
