Top tips for making a ‘good’ referral (if applicable):\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We accept referrals for Infants (not parents) we therefore require the infant\u2019s full name and date of birth. We want to understand how the infant is presenting or being affected by the current situation. The more the referrer can say about their direct observations of the infant the better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What needs to be in place before a referral is accepted (for example a Child’s Plan)?<\/strong>\u00a0 <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

That the health Visitor has been informed of the referral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is there a charge\/fee for this service?<\/strong>\u00a0 <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
