Community paediatrics

Community Paediatrics is a specialist child health assessment and diagnostic service to meet the needs of children with special or complex health needs.

We work very closely with other health professionals, such children’s therapies, and also offer joint assessments.

We also work closely with non-health specialists working in education and social care.

Services include:

  • Pre-school neuro-developmental assessments
  • Social communication assessment clinics
  • Looked-after children’s statutory health assessments
  • Special education needs clinics
  • Child protection medicals (2 years to 18 years)
  • Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) - for children with a learning disability

Social Communication Pathway -  The video below is for parents of children who are on the social communication pathway (otherwise known as the ASD pathway).

It explains the process we follow in Hounslow.

Early Help and Children's Social Care Portal

Early help is about providing extra support at an early stage for you and your family. This helps to prevent small problems from getting worse. These could be difficulties with parenting to health to education to support for teenagers.

Many services in Hounslow offer early help including schools, children’s centres, health, and education services and more. Ask about the support available.

After asking for support, the most appropriate service/s within early help can be identified. Some of the services will need a Child & Family Assessment/Notification Safeguarding Form (CFAN) to be completed. Other services within Early Help may have their own referral form or procedure. Contact the service directly to enquire.
