Important updates for Designated Teachers - New SaLT referral process for Children Looked after by Hertfordshire.

If you have any Speech, Language or Communication concerns regarding a Hertfordshire Child Looked After(CLA) attending your school, you can now refer direct to our Herts Virtual School Speech & Language Therapist, Ruth Blake.  

Please complete the attached screening form and return it by email, marked SLT / CLA  in the subject to  hct.cypspecialistservices@nhs.net

Please note this replaces our usual referral SaLT pathway but only applies to a child or young person who is looked after by Hertfordshire CC.  All other children should be referred to the SaLT service using our online referral form on the HCT website.

This screening form can be downloaded from the attachments below

Advice line: 01923 470 680, choose option 3, then option 1 and leave a message.

Our advice line is a dedicated telephone number which parents, carers and professionals can call to speak to a therapist about a new referral or a child’s development. Please leave a message and a therapist will contact you. Calls are responded to by a therapist on weekdays.
