How to refer

  • SLT promote that referrals come directly from parents or those most proximal to child and therefore encourage GP's to direct families to our web based resources for information on referral options rather than using the SCI Gateway.
  • Referrals can be made by parents via our Advice Line, please see our details below:
    • Open: Tuesdays 9:30am–11:30am and Thursdays 4:00pm–6:00pm
    • Telephone Number: 01382 740317
