One way to access services for children, young people and families in Kirklees
There’s now one number and one online form for children, young people and their families to access health and well-being support through Thriving Kirklees.
The innovative partnership brings together five organisations and their 0-19 services to help ensure that all children, young people and families living in Kirklees will be healthy and resilient.
The services can now be contacted via a single online form available at www.thrivingkirklees.org.uk. – or one telephone number – 0300 304 5555.
Services for children and young people aged 0-19 (up to 25-years old for young people with special needs) and their families include:
- Health visiting and family nurse partnership
- School nursing
- Ask CaMHS
- Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS)
- Children’s Emotional Health and Wellbeing Service
- National Child Measurement Programme
- Assessment and diagnosis of autistic spectrum conditions (through referrals made by a Speech and Language Therapist, Paediatrician, or Educational Psychologist)
- Support for children and young people with learning disabilities
- Home-Start Family Support
- Healthy child vitamins.
The Thriving Kirklees partnership is led by Locala Community Partnerships CIC, and includes our Trust, Northorpe Hall Child and Family Trust, Home-Start Kirklees, and Yorkshire Children’s Centre.
Our aim is to bring services together, co-ordinate resources and establish a seamless route for children, young people and families to get support and help for their health and wellbeing.
This supports Kirklees’ vision to be a great place to grow up where every child and young person:
- is safe and loved, healthy and happy and free from harm, and
- has the chance to make the most of their talents, skills and qualities to fulfil their potential.
