AGEMCSU/TRANS/22/1186 - Neurodiversity Children & Young People Evaluation

Derby & Derbyshire CCG (D&DCCG) would like to undertake some independent primary research directly with parents and children, referrers into the service (mainly SENDCOs and GPs) and with all our partners across our system. We would also like to explore secondary research that has been undertaken both locally and nationally to inform the project. The Key questions that this research will answer is: Area 1: Our profile of prevalence and equality of assessment services 1. What is our population profile/prevalence of referrals for assessment how does that align to deprivation and other public health measures? 2.

What could we offer instead to meet the needs identified, alongside or instead of an assessment? Area 3: Support offered from specialist health assessment services 1. Provide a formal analysis of efficacy with regards to our current support offer? 2. What are the benefits and limitations of the Neurodiversity portal? 3. What support needs to be provided from specialist health services into early help and targeted offers currently in the system and new offers that are emerging such as the SEND Advice Line and SEND Navigators? 4. What could be put in place in ICS neighbourhoods and schools to meet this need and prevent unnecessary referrals? Area 4: Our assessment model 5. Undertake a diagnostic of our assessment pathway model; how does our assessment model compare across our ICS places but also compared to other areas recognised for best practice? 6. Could our co
