We are now taking referrals for Locala services. We are working hard to ensure the majority of our services will start to get back to normal from September, but some will take a little longer due to restrictions in response to COVID. Once your referral has been received, it will be reviewed and a decision made about your possible treatment or care. You will then be contacted by the appropriate team with the relevant information. At the moment this is taking longer than usual. We understand this has been difficult time for everyone and are grateful for your patience.

School Referrals
Supporting evidence needs to be included to support the referral (IEP, Provision Map, ANP, MSP etc) and must include specific speech, language or communication targets and have been reviewed at least twice in school. We will not accept referrals that do not meet this criteria unless the referral is specifically for a concern about stammering or a voice problem. The Quality First Teaching (QFT) guidelines (SEND Code of Practice 2014 Kirklees Document) are used when we process our referrals. The QFT incorporates many of the strategies and advice that we recommend for supporting a child initially with SLCN and can be implemented without the need to make a referral to our service.
Please ensure any documentation uploaded does not contain name or details of other children or young people.
Please note: You will no longer receive an email from us to confirm we have received your referral.
