If you are the parent of a child who is not known to our therapy service, or a health or education profession working with a child not known to the service, and would like to speak to a therapist about how best to support them, please contact the relevant team to schedule a therapist call back.

For queries about how a child’s speech, language or communication is developing (for example, how clear their speech is, how many words they are using or the words they understand) ask to speak to a speech and language therapist.

If you have concerns about a child’s physical development or coordination (for example meeting their milestones such as crawling or walking, or their ability to participate in everyday activities) ask to speak to a physiotherapist or occupational therapist.

As a result of the information you share on the call the therapist might:

• share resources with you to help support the child
• suggest that you contact another service for more support
• suggest that you seek further advice from another profession on the advice line
• advise you or someone working with the child to make a referral to Children’s Therapies.

Advice line call backs are arranged Monday and Wednesday. Admin will book a time for a therapist to contact you. Please note if you are unable to take the arranged call back you will have to contact the team again to book another time slot.
