Referring a child or young person to CENMAC?
We support children and young people in the following local authorities: Bromley, Ealing, Greenwich, Hammersmith & Fulham, Havering, Hounslow, Lambeth, Lewisham, Merton, Kingston/Richmond-Upon-Thames, Southwark & Wandsworth (if you live in Greater London but not in one of these boroughs, we might still be able to help you. Sometimes boroughs or schools will pay for a private assessment or individual packages through a service level agreement.)
Permission must be sought from the child or young person’s home LA for funding before CENMAC can assess them, so think of this as a “grant” application – give as much information as you can. It will help the LA make a decision and CENMAC to arrive at the assessment well informed.
Your completed form is sent to the LA as part of the request for funding so what you say is important.
Please explain the difficulties the child or young person is having and let us know what has already been tried.
Remember CENMAC is an advice and support service and not just a loan library.
Complete the form as fully as possible. It may mean asking others for information to complete all questions.
Make sure that the supporting information requested (EHCP, IEP, OT, SALT, VI, HI reports and handwriting/drawing sample as applicable) are included with the form. If any of the above are inappropriate please say so on the form.
