Some of you may be aware of the proposed changes to the ways that autism and/or ADHD will be diagnosed here in Redcar & Cleveland. The new 'pathway' was due to be launched this month but is now delayed until September 2021.

On Tuesday 4th May, the CCG (Clinical Commissioning Group) are co-hosting a virtual drop in with us to discuss the new pathway, known as the Neurodevelopmental Pathway.

We would encourage as many parent carers who are interested in this, effected by this, or have questions or comments to make, to please join us via Teams.

Healthwatch have produced a comprehensive report from a consultation on this pathway which we can share with parent carers - email: michelle@randcpcf.co.uk for a copy.

The CCG have offered these drop ins and want these open and frank conversations with parent carers. So let's have one!
