Referrals for a Southwark Local Authority child or young person
Important Update (March 2026):
Southwark LA is temporarily pausing new CENMAC referrals during a service review. No new referrals for CENMAC assessments will be processed during this review period, except for urgent, emergency or new arrivals.
Children and young people already receiving CENMAC support will continue to receive their provision as usual. Urgent cases: cenmac@southwark.gov.uk
Permission must be sought from Southwark Local Authority (LA) for funding before CENMAC can assess the child or young person.
How to make a referral
To make a referral for a Southwark based child or young person, please email the LA directly requesting you would like CENMAC involvement.
