The move to an online referral system is to provide a quicker and more secure streamlined system. Parent/carers will receive a confirmation email containing team information including our leaflet.
Yes you must have all your information ready before you start the referral you do not have the option to save and return. The system will time out after 60 minutes and your referral will no longer be viable for submission to the service. You will need to start a fresh session and start the process again.
All systems will have a limit on upload sizes. Please be aware that attaching certain document formats such as photographs will take up a large amount of data, we would suggest PDFs and Word documents to reduce this.
Page eight is your confirmation. If for any reason the referral does not submit you will be notified on this page. You will then need to start the referral again in a fresh session. The most likely cause of submitting failure is the session timed out or the uploading of evidence. Please ensure you have read and understood the guidance on page one to avoid this scenario.
Open the Early years targeted and specialist services link and using the star symbol on the address bar, add to favourites and option to add to favourites bar. Once you have refreshed your page you will see the link under your address bar for quick access.
