Professional Standards and Safeguarding

All our practitioners have undertaken safeguarding training to level 3, other mandatory training, and areas of interest training. They are all registered with governing bodies that regulate our practice. Each practitioner has had an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check completed in the last three years, with ongoing checks as standard. Practitioners also hold indemnity insurance and are registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), ensuring your data is stored in compliance with GDPR.
Our ADHD Assessments service offers thorough evaluations using validated tools, teacher and parent reports, and clinical interviews to support accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

Referrals and Involvement

We accept referrals from professionals and self-referrals. We encourage potential referrals to contact us to start meaningful dialogues from the beginning, maintaining communication throughout your care and treatment with our service. We work inclusively, involving parents and carers in the care and treatment process unless otherwise requested.

Service Limitations

Please note, we do not work with young people in inpatient psychiatric services or provide interventions at the point of discharge. We are not a crisis service and cannot respond to emergency situations but can provide guidance and appropriate action if needed. In urgent situations, we advise attending A&E and contacting emergency services. We do not provide legal work to focus on delivering clinical care and treatment. However, we can work with insurance companies; please discuss this during your initial enquiry.
