If you are a parent and have concerns regarding youir child and are not sure what next steps to take, please call the CAMHS mental health hub on 01606 555 118 (Mon - Fri 09:00 - 17:00) who will be able to discuss this with you and advise. 

If you have concerns that your child may have ADHD or Autism, we strongly advise you to contact your child's school who will be able to arrange referral. The school are aware of the relevant information and paperwork that needs to be submitted to the local ADHD or Autism Team.

Unfortunately, the GP does not arrange referrals for children of school age for Autism or ADHD, unless you are a new patient and there has is already a diagnosis in place and a transfer of care is required.
