Changes to Wiltshire Neurodevelopmental Pathway Referral Process
|
From 1st January 2025, HCRG Care Group will require all new referrals for suspected neurodevelopmental conditions to follow the Needs-Led Approach. The Needs Led Approach is an holistic approach to supporting families in a creative and empowered way. HCRG wants to work in partnership between education, health and families to improve outcomes and experiences for children and young people who may be neurodivergent.
Who Completes the Approach?
A Needs-Led Approach profile will usually be completed by home and school together. All education settings/schools are able to access free training and resources to use this approach. If your child is not in an education setting, the Wiltshire Parent Carer Council (WPCC) will be able to support you to use a Needs-Led Approach profile (details below). GPs are not able to make direct referrals into HCRG Care Group for suspected neurodevelopmental (ND) conditions.
What Support is there for Families using this Approach?
Parents and carers can call the WPCC’s Neurodevelopmental Information (NDI) telephone advice line to discuss queries about autism and ADHD support, ND assessment and The Needs Led Approach.
PLEASE NOTE:- The WPCC NDI advice line is open Wednesdays and Fridays from 10:00am - 5:00pm. Parent carers can call the WPCC NDI advice line on:- 01225 764647 and select option 2. Parents and carers can also send an email if they prefer to:- ndi@wiltspcc.co.uk.
Information about changes to the referral process can also be found on the [HCRG Care Group website].
