Begin the Process

  • Parents or caregivers can begin the process by completing the Assessment Suitability Form. This form gathers key information to help determine whether the practice is suitable, well-timed, and likely to meet the child or young person’s assessment needs. It includes questions about service involvement, assessment readiness, legal guardianship, consent, and other relevant factors.

    Please Note: the Assessment Suitability Form will appear on this page when there is capacity. If the waitlist is temporarily closed, the form will not be visible.

The current wait time is approximately 6 months.

    Purpose of the Assessment Suitability Form

    This form is the first step in the referral process. It is designed to:

    • Facilitate initial contact

    • Support a preliminary decision about whether this practice is likely to be a good fit

    • Identify factors that may affect timing, readiness, or feasibility (e.g., consent)

    Submitting this form does not place the child or young person on the waitlist.

    What Happens Next

    If the information provided suggests the practice is appropriate:

    • You will be invited to complete an Intake Formand Consent Form

    • These must be completed, reviewed, and accepted before the child or young person can be added to the waitlist

    If the referral is accepted:

    • The child or young person will be placed on the waitlist

    • When capacity becomes available, you will receive an email with a booking link for a Parent Consultation

    When a Referral May Not Proceed

    A referral may not go forward if:

    • There are significant risk factors or mental health needs

    • The information suggests a public service (e.g., C.A.M.H.S., C.D.N.T., etc.) would better meet the child or young person’s needs

    • Legal consent cannot be obtained from all relevant guardians

    In such cases:

    • Families will be notified and provided with a reason

    • Signposting to public services may be provided in an email, where appropriate
