High Care Needs Referral Form

The High Care Needs system identifies children in Newcastle who have complex difficulties and where the provision of an appropriate multi-agency package of social care, health care and education is challenging the local services.

Referral does not result in the provision of a service, but highlights the current and future needs of specific children, as identified by the professionals in the multi-agency team involved in their care, to the joint commissioners of children's' health, education and social care services.
