The Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust

We have an open referral system. Parents can refer their own child but for school age children we recommend you asking schools to refer so we can obtain more detailed information about how their difficulty is impacting in school and which other practitioners/services are involved.

Children can be referred by phoning 01709 423230 or 423229, or using the referral forms below:

Under 5s referral form
School referral form - if you are a parent/guardian, you may find it helpful to fill this in with your child's teacher and/or SENDCo

Our service operates in specialist teams and therefore all referrals are first reviewed to ensure that children can be seen by the most appropriate part of the service. If we do not receive enough information to make this decision we will write to the referrer to request more information. A child will be seen sooner if as much detailed information is provided as possible.
