Making a new referral for a CYP ADHD assessment
If you are making a new referral for a child or young person for an ADHD assessment, please use the Lancashire and South Cumbria CYP ADHD referral form.
Information for families: ADHD referrals cannot be made using this form by parents, carers or young people directly. The referral form is for professionals making a referral on behalf of a child or young person. If you have concerns about your child and think an ADHD assessment may be appropriate, please speak to your child’s school SENCO or GP, who can discuss the next steps with you.
Please complete the referral form as fully as possible and include any relevant supporting information.
