PARENT/CARER CONSENT FORM FOR THE ST HELENS NEURODEVELOPMENTAL PATHWAY
FOR MULTI-AGENCY INFORMATION SHARING
Purpose: The sharing of information between agencies is an important part of the assessment of your child, as it provides a fuller picture of your child’s strengths and needs. Sharing information allows for a range of specialised assessments to be undertaken to help determine the needs of your child. In order for a full assessment regarding neurodevelopmental differences to be undertaken, several agencies may need to become involved. Consent: We need your consent to share information between agencies. The agencies covered by this consent to information agreement are detailed on Page 2 of the referral form. (Social Care including ICS records)
Child/young person’s name: ________________________________ DOB: ___________________
NHS number: ___________________________________________________________________
I understand that I am free to commission additional private, specialist assessments and reports but any costs incurred to me will not be
reimbursed by the LA/CCG. I understand that all information supplied by me will be reviewed by the pathway but any diagnosis outlined
may not be accepted, and any recommendations will be considered, but not necessarily accepted. I understand that the pathway only
follows those diagnoses and recommendations made by NHS and Local Authority commissioned services as part of a multi-disciplinary
decision making process.
I understand that the information provided on this form will be processed in accordance with the requirements of the 1998 Data
Protection Act. It will be treated as confidential and will only be used for purpose of the provision of education and health services.
In connection with this purpose, the information may also be processed for preventing any fraud or criminal offence to ensure the
health, safety and welfare of any child. In pursuit of these legitimate purposes, the information may be shared with other
authorities, and with any organisation legitimately investigating allegations of fraud, criminal offences or child protection.
The process has been fully explained to me by the referrer and I understand that there are no set timescales and that each case is
individual and will require different services to be involved including those included overleaf and others not stated.
I consent for information sharing between Pathway and the services named overleaf, and for my child to be referred to services
that are deemed appropriate by the Pathway, based on my child’s needs.
I understand that the Pathway will refer my child to services that will be of benefit to him/her and these assessments are essential
to providing a full and holistic picture of the presentation of my child. By signing this consent, I agree, wherever possible, to arrange
for my child to attend all appointments sent out and understand that non-attendance can lead to my child being discharged from
that service, this will result in an extended waiting time for assessments, and may result in my child being closed to the Pathway.
Should school find that additional support is required in school to help with my child’s access to the curriculum, I consent to a
referral to the Language and Social Communication (LASC) Service.

St Helens Neurodevelopmental Pathway uses the World Health Organisation, (1992) International classification of diseases: Diagnostic criteria for research (10th edition) (ICD-10), and the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (2013) (DSM V) tools for diagnosing autism spectrum disorder / attention deficit hyperactivity disorder /. As per NICE (National Institute Clinical Excellence) Guidelines (2011), these are nationally recognised tools within the UK for diagnosis of autism
spectrum disorder / attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Should a diagnosis of any condition be confirmed, mutual agreement of referral to other services to provide post diagnosis support to school / home would be arranged if required.
The consent for St Helens Neurodevelopmental Pathway will apply until your child is closed to this service. Many thanks for your cooperation.

As a referrer, I have discussed the following with parents:
The Pathway is unable to offer direct support to the parent/ carer/ child. They must be signposted to the appropriate services.
If the child’s needs can be met by another service, the pathway will end at that point and the case will be closed.
If a risk is identified by the referrer this must be managed and referred on to the most appropriate agency to support the child / family.
The assessment via the Pathway will determine whether their child meets criteria for a diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorder. Individual agencies will make their own recommendations.
I have discussed with parents that the process may take some time and the services to which the Pathway refers usually have waiting lists of their own.

Children and young people’s views are very important when considering how best to support them in school.
They can be very good at giving advice.
Please take some time to complete the attached questionnaire with the child or young person.
You may need to adapt it for younger or less able children.
Children or young person can draw, write, take photos, etc
It is better to write for the child or young person, to enable
him/her to have time to think about the answers.
Seeing his/her, handwriting is not important but hearing his/her, voice is.
Please take note of any advice the child or young person
gives you, and incorporate into your planning and management
Please share the child or young person’s views at the planning and consultation meeting when raising your
