3 Introduction The Specialist Children s Service is the main statutory health and social care provider within the London Borough of Waltham Forest to disabled children and their parents and carers. The Specialist Children s Service provides a multi-disciplinary service to disabled children, children with complex health needs, their parents and carers. The Specialist Children s Service aims to provide a coordinated service for children and their families by offering: A single point of referral Coordinated assessment, planning and review Information sharing across the service. Co-location of teams in a purpose-built centre. Most of these teams are now based at The Wood Street Health Centre (6 Linford Road, Walthamstow, E17 3LA) but some staff may be based at other locations. Teams based at The Wood Street Health Centre: Child Development Team Community Paediatricians Speech and Language Therapy Physiotherapy Occupational Therapy Children s Community Nurses Special Schools Nurse Team Leader Disabled Children s Social Work Team Portage Team Early Support Programme Special Needs Information Partnership (Children s with Disabilities Register) Child Health Team Teams based elsewhere in the Borough: Special Schools Nurses based in the designated school 92 Leyton Green Road Short Breaks Centre Mobility Officers based at Joseph Clarke School Paediatric Dietetic Service based at Whipps cross University Hospital Introduction 3

5 How do I make a referral to teams within the Specialist Children s Service? The Specialist Children s Service Referral Form means that referrers only complete one referral form for a child to refer to any of the teams within Specialist Children s Service. The single point of referral for the service means we will then identify which team or teams need to respond. Complete the referral form as fully as possible. This helps our staff make recommendations about the service needed by the child and their family/ carers. Parental agreement to the referral is required before the referral is made (with the exception of the urgent referrals listed below). General Referrals Send to: Referrals Centre Specialist Children s Service The Wood Street Health Centre 6 Linford Road, Walthamstow E17 3LA Tel: /7901 Fax: Urgent Referrals There are specific urgent referrals where you should contact the relevant team within the Specialist Children s Service directly in the first instance. These referrals are set out below. Child Protection Referrals to the Disabled Children s Social Work Team, please phone the team on or to provide details of the referral and concerns. This telephone referral should be followed up in writing immediately. Children s Community Nursing Team urgent referrals, please phone the team on to provide details of the request and fax the request to Speech and Language Therapy referrals from Acorn Ward or Special Care Baby Unit (Whipps Cross University Hospital) for acute intervention, please phone the team on or 7972 to provide details of the request. How do I make a referral to teams within the Specialist Children s Service 5
6 Urgent Community Paediatric Referrals including requests for Child Protection Examinations, please phone the team on to provide details of the request. Referrals from Professionals Professionals such as GPs, Health Visitors or Teachers etc. can make a referral to the Specialist Children s Service using the CAF - Common Assessment Framework form accompanied by the Specialist Children s Service Referral form. The CAF - Common Assessment Framework is used to collect basic information about the child and family and any specialist information (such as medical related information) to support the referral should be entered on the Specialist Children s Service Referral form. The CAF - Common Assessment Framework form can be downloaded from and the Specialist Children s Service Referral form can be obtained by phoning /7901 or downloaded from Referrals from Parents and Carers Parents and carers can make a referral to the Specialist Children s Service by completing a Specialist Children s Service Referral form which can be obtained by phoning /7901 or downloaded from What happens when I make a referral? Referrals made to Specialist Children s Service (SCS) will be received by a Referral Officer. The referral will be dealt with by the Referral Intake Team. If the child s referral is for the involvement of a single team (e.g. Speech and Language Therapy) it will be forwarded to that team for follow up. If the child s referral needs the involvement of more than one team (multidisciplinary assessment or intervention) it will be presented to the weekly Specialist Children s Service Referral Panel. This referral panel will initiate the care pathway and plan the response, including identification of a key worker / lead professional when required. In cases where the referral does not meet the criteria set within the Specialist Children s Service, this will be communicated to the referrer with a written response. The referrer and the child s parents / carers will be provided with written confirmation of the referral outcome. How do I make a referral to teams within the Specialist Children s Service 6
7 Are there different referral criteria for teams in Specialist Children s Service? Yes. The wide ranging group of teams who are part of the Specialist Children s Service do have different referral criteria. However, our overall aim is to coordinate the best service available for the child. The rest of this booklet sets out the referral criteria for each team in Specialist Children s Service. This is to provide guidance when making a referral regarding the service that each team is able to offer. How do I make a referral to teams within the Specialist Children s Service 7
