  1. How do I refer my child to the service?

    Early Years  
    Anyone who knows your child well (including you, a GP, Health Visitor, nursery staff, or childminder) can make a referral using our referral form: [insert referral form link]. 

    If your child is pre-school age (has not started Reception), they must have a Greenwich GP to access the service. 

    School Years 

    Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy: Anyone who knows your child  (including you, a GP, Health Visitor, nursery staff, or childminder) can make a referral using our referral form: [insert referral form link]. 

    Speech and Language Therapy: If your child has an EHCP and attends a Greenwich Local Authority school, they can access our service. Children without an EHCP can be referred (e.g. by you, their GP or school SENCO) if their school commissions Speech and Language Therapy from Oxleas NHS.  

    Special Schools 

    If your child attends a Special School in Greenwich,  we use a three-tiered approach to support students: 

    • Universal – All students benefit from this level and do not require a referral. Therapists work closely with school staff to create a supportive environment for learning and development across the curriculum. This might include training for staff, adapting the classroom environment, or providing general strategies that help all children thrive. 
    • Targeted – Some students may need extra help in specific areas. Therapists might work with small groups or provide tailored advice to staff and families to support particular needs. 
    • Specialist – For children with more complex needs, therapists provide direct, individualised support. This is usually linked to the therapy provision in their EHCP. 

    If therapy is not included in your child’s EHCP and you feel their needs are not being met by the Universal or Targeted levels of therapy support in school, they can be referred for a specialist assessment.  This can be done by you via the Single point of access team, or anyone that knows your child well (e.g. teacher, GP) . We can then discuss your child’s needs and explore the best next steps.
