A set of resources that help children to identify and express their emotions

Children can use the small coloured fans to identify and communicate how they are feeling at a basic level.

The Feelings chart allows children to identify different emotional states. By pointing to a symbol they can communicate how they are feeling and support their understanding of how they can develop skills for self-management and regulation of their emotions.

Supporting young people who face additional challenges can be difficult at times. With that in mind, the Hope Service has created a space for groups of parents and carers to come together on a regular (fortnightly) basis to discuss the challenges they face in a confidential and supportive environment.

These groups are specifically for parents and carers of young people who would like additional support. You will have an opportunity to exchange experiences and receive support towards managing the often complex situations you find yourselves in.

This is not a parenting class, rather a non-judgemental support group and we encourage you to talk about whatever seems most important.

The Hope Service will be offering topical sessions to coincide with the dates on offer, where parents and carers can join together to discuss current difficulties. The topical sessions are free of charge to attend and are time intensive, so if are are unable to attend please let us know as soon as possible.

Support is offered via Microsoft Teams by Hope staff members, which could include a Therapist, Nurse, Teacher, Social Worker and Hope day programme staff or outside facilitators.

How to access the Mindworks Neurodevelopmental pathway

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Access to Mindworks Neurodevelopmental Pathway

We know that life experiences can look like neurodivergent needs, including sleep, diet, and life trauma. We therefore ask that attempts be made to support these areas of need in the first instance in liaison with your school nurse, SENCO, or School-Based Needs Team. To help with these needs, please also refer to our webpage where there are several resources for support. These include support strategies and interventions, including a Mindworks pre-recorded video for parents of neurodivergent children, Navigating the maze. Strategies should be embedded in the home and school to support a child's needs.

We also have a range of workshops and groups run by our Mindworks professionals for children, young people, and their families that can be accessed without the need for a diagnosis.

Referral process for Mindworks Neurodevelopmental Pathway

Access to the neurodevelopmental pathway for a child or young person is through their school, which will need to complete our referral forms and make a request for a consultation.

If the information provided shows that a neurodevelopmental assessment is clearly needed, and the young person is already getting support at home and at school, then they will go straight onto the waiting list for a diagnostic assessment - no consultation is needed. If the information provided isn't clear or complete, a consultation will take place first.

A consultation brings together the support networks around the child or young person, including school staff, parent/carer, and Mindworks practitioners, to work together on ensuring the needs of a child or young person are met. Consultations aim to enhance the collective understanding of the child or young person's needs and build on support and strategies that have already been implemented. During the consultation, those present will agree on a plan of continued care and support for the child or young person and consider whether it is the right time to add them to the waiting list for diagnostic assessment.

Criteria for requesting a school consultation

Schools can contact the Neurodevelopmental Service to book a consultation where there is a strong suspicion of Autism and/or ADHD and at least one of the following criteria is met:

Not meeting age-related expectations academically and/or developmentally and high levels of individualised SEND arrangements have been put in place for the presenting needs both at home and school for at least 10 weeks

Significant levels of distress (however that presents for the individual) within home and/or school environments

Difficulties in attendance at school with accompanying Emotionally Based School Non Attendance (EBSNA) support plan

Known to Mindworks Children & Young People's Services

Please note we require consent from children over 12 years of age.

We require referral forms to be collaboratively completed between a professional from a second setting and home. This would ideally be a school staff member who knows the child or young person well.

If a child or young person is not on school roll then a professional from another setting can complete the referral forms with parents. In these circumstances, this could be the child's GP, if they know the child well, but equally it could be another professional such as an activity leader e.g. sports coach. For children and young people not on school roll and there is no second setting a parent can request a half hour discovery conversation by calling 0300 222 5856 or emailing neurodevworkrequests@sabp.nhs.uk. Please note that the referral forms do still need to be completed ahead of the consultation.

How do I book a consultation?

Please review information on how to book a consultation here on the Forms for requests for support page.

What if I don't meet the criteria above?

In England, all NHS patients have a legal right to choose the service or hospital that provides their physical and mental health care. This means people can make choices that best suit their individual needs and enables people to be more involved, and have more control over, their care.

For mental health services, this means people have the right to choose their mental health provider and their mental health team. This is known as 'Right to choose' and is part of the national NHS Choice Framework. Please visit Surrey Heartland's website for more details on Right to Choose in Surrey.

Right to Choose for mental health care (including all aged Autism and ADHD)

In England, all NHS patients have a legal right to choose the service or hospital that provides their physical and mental health care.

This means people can make choices that best suit their individual needs and enables people to be more involved, and have more control over, their care.

For mental health services, this means people have the right to choose their mental health provider and their mental health team. This is known as 'Right to choose' and is part of the national NHS Choice Framework.

For example, if a GP refers someone for an ADHD or an autism assessment, in most cases, that person (or their parent or carer) can choose the provider that best suits their needs. When considering the right service, people may consider the service location, waiting times and other factors such as what the service offers.
NHS England guidance: choice of provider and team in mental health care

What do these rights mean for you and your family?

The legal rights to choice of mental health provider and team apply when :

A GP refers a patient for treatment when it is not urgent or an emergency (crisis) and

A GP refers a patient for a first appointment with a chosen provider for a new episode of care and

The patient is not already under the care of a provider or has previously received treatment from this provider for the same condition and

the referral is clinically appropriate and

the service and team are led by a consultant or a mental healthcare professional e.g. a psychologist and

the chosen provider has a commissioning contract with NHS Surrey Heartlands or NHS England for the required service.

Prior commissioner approval is not required when the above apply.

When do the rights to choice not apply?

If any of the following describe your situation, the legal rights to choice do not apply.

Where a patient is:

already receiving mental health care following an elective referral for the same condition

referred to a service that is commissioned by a local authority, for example a drug and alcohol service (unless commissioned under a Section 75 Agreement)

accessing urgent or emergency (crisis) care

accessing services delivered through a primary care (GMS) contract

in high secure psychiatric services

detained under the Mental Health Act 1983

detained in a secure setting. This includes people in or on temporary release from prisons, courts, secure children's homes, certain secure training centres, immigration removal centres or young offender institutions

serving as a member of the armed forces (family members in England have the same rights as other residents of England)

Talk to your GP about whether you can choose your provider.

How do I know which providers I can choose from?

If you need a referral into a mental health service, your GP will be able to talk you through the next steps and the options available to you, including your right to choose and providers that would be suitable and able to meet your, or your child's needs.

You can also search for services online, although your GP would need to confirm an NHS contract is in place before they can make a referral - and they can check this with us (NHS Surrey Heartlands ICB).

Does Right to Choose apply for adult mental health services, including Autism and ADHD services?

If you or a family member need a referral into an adult mental health service, including Autism and ADHD services, then Right to Choose may apply, but it would depend on the type of service you need.

For example, some services such as crisis support, would not be part of Right to Choose because people would need immediate support and timely access is really important.

There may also be some highly specialist services where a choice of service isn't available because the service is so specialist.

Your GP will be able to advise you on whether there are different services or organisations that could provide the type of support you need. We would recommend talking to your GP about the options available.

Can I use right to choose for my child's autism or ADHD assessment?

Surrey Heartlands commission autism and ADHD assessments from Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust for children and young people who meet the referral criteria for this service.

We recognise the current waiting times are longer than we would want them to be, and whilst children are supported while they await an assessment, Right to Choose could be another option. If parents wanted their child to be seen by a different provider, they should discuss this with their GP. The GP can make the referral, as long as the provider already holds an NHS contract for providing autism or ADHD services.

Providers often vary in the type of service they provide. Some offer assessment only, whilst some offer ongoing support. If you are considering Right to Choose, it is important to look at what the different services provide so your GP can make a referral to the service that best meets your child's needs, including any ongoing support they may need.

Is ADHD medication available for children and adults through Right to Choose?

Providers often vary in the type of service they provide.

For example, some organisations only offer assessments, whilst others offer ongoing support, including medication.

If you are considering Right to Choose, it's important to look at what the different services provide so your GP can make a referral to the service that best meets your, or your child's, needs, including any ongoing support they may need.

Additional mental health support

National charities also offer a range of information and advice on mental health topics to improve the quality of life for anyone affected by mental illness and carers. Specialist support from the national charity Carers UK also provides a wealth of resources specifically for families and carers.

If you think you may need further psychological support or are unsure about what help might be best for you, please do contact your GP to seek advice.

Symbol-supported books and activities to support children's wellbeing

Good mental health is essential in order to help young people live happy and healthy lives. This resource pack, which has been produced in partnership with Dr Jerricah Holder, Educational Psychologist, contains symbolised books and activities to support children's understanding of wellbeing and self-care.

The symbolised books explain what wellbeing 'looks like' and provides guidance on how children can improve their own wellbeing. The themes of resilience and mindfulness are also explored. This pack aims to help build emotional understanding.

Children will explore how they may experience 'comfortable' and 'uncomfortable' bodily sensations and how these 'signs' can help them make sense of how they are feeling. Children will learn the importance of developing a 'web of support' as a way of ensuring they have a network of trusted adults who they can ask for support.

This resource pack would support the teaching of Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) and Health Education in schools.
