How Parents/ Carers can refer a child attending school (including school nurseries)

Information for Parents/ Carers

If your child is at school it is important that you first discuss your concerns with your child's class teacher or the school's Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCo). The SENCo at your child's school can then discuss and liaise with the schools link Speech and Language Therapist.

If you are having any issues with the referral process, you could also contact us directly via the Speak Up Salford e-mail at speakup.salford@srft.nhs.uk
