Assessment Enquiries

Waitlist Closed Temporarily

  • The waitlist for All Kinds of Minds Assessments is currently closed and will reopen in September 2026. The practice remains operational during this period, with existing appointments proceeding as arranged.

    Families already engaged with the practice may continue to use the contact details provided to them. Appointment reminders will issue as usual. Reports currently in progress will continue to be completed, with any outstanding reports finalised as soon as possible.

    For families who have completed the required Intake Form and Consent Form and have been accepted onto the waitlist, their place remains secure. You will be contacted with a booking link as soon as assessment capacity becomes available.

    The Assessment Suitability Form—the first step for new enquiries—will become available again when the waitlist reopens in September 2026.

  • Please note: The Assessment Suitability Form should not be submitted for children under six years of age or young people who have already turned 18.

    Wait times vary according to current capacity and are updated regularly.

    Purpose of the Assessment Suitability Form

    The Assessment Suitability Form is the first step in the referral process. It allows the Clinical Psychologist to review the information provided and make a preliminary decision about whether All Kinds of Minds Assessments is likely to be an appropriate service for the child or young person.

    It also identifies factors that may affect the timing, readiness, or feasibility of an assessment, including consent requirements and the level or complexity of support required.

    Completing the form does not mean that the referral has been accepted or that the child or young person has been placed on the waitlist.

    What Happens Next?

    If the practice appears likely to be appropriate, you will be invited to complete an Intake Form and Consent Form. These must be completed, reviewed, and accepted before the referral can proceed.

    Once the referral is accepted, the child or young person will be added to the waitlist. When assessment capacity becomes available, the family will receive an email with a booking link for the Parent Consultation.

    When a Referral May Not Proceed

    A referral may not proceed where the information provided indicates that:

    • the child or young person has significant current mental-health, safety, or support needs outside the scope of this practice;

    • another service, such as C.A.M.H.S. or a C.D.N.T., is likely to be more appropriate; or

    • the required legal consent cannot be obtained.

    Where a referral does not proceed, the family will be informed and provided with a brief explanation. Where appropriate, information about other services or G.P.-led referral pathways may also be provided.

    Information submitted through the suitability process will be securely deleted if the referral does not proceed.

    Data Protection and Confidentiality

    Information submitted through the Assessment Suitability Form is transmitted securely and handled in accordance with G.D.P.R. and applicable data-protection requirements.

    Submitted information is reviewed only by the Clinical Psychologist at All Kinds of Minds Assessments and is retained temporarily for the purposes of reviewing suitability and facilitating initial contact. It is securely deleted if the referral does not proceed.

    For further information about confidentiality, consent, data protection, and the referral process, please refer to the full Terms of Service.

    Important Safety and Welfare Information

    Safety and welfare considerations are included within the Assessment Suitability Form to inform clinical decision-making. However, emails and online submissions are not monitored in real time, and All Kinds of Minds Assessments is not a crisis response service.

    If there are immediate and urgent concerns about a child or young person’s safety, attend the nearest Emergency Department or call 999/112.

    For non-urgent mental-health concerns, contact the child or young person’s G.P., who can advise on appropriate H.S.E. services and referral pathways, including C.A.M.H.S. where indicated.

    For concerns relating to child welfare or protection, please contact Tusla directly.

    Clinical Psychologists are mandated persons under the Children First Act 2015. Where information indicates that a child may not be safe, the Clinical Psychologist is required to follow safeguarding procedures and, where indicated, make a report in accordance with Children First. Any child-welfare or protection concerns identified through the Assessment Suitability Form or during the assessment process will be managed in accordance with these obligations.
