Impact of Address and GP Location on Services:
Education Services (EY SEND or SEND team): Provided by the borough where the family lives, regardless of GP location.
Health Services (e.g., paediatricians, therapists, audiology): Provided by Barnet teams if the GP is based in Barnet, even if the family lives in another borough.
Recommendation: To ensure better coordination of services, it is best if the family’s GP and home address are in the same borough.
Developmental Paediatrics:
Community-based paediatricians specialising in developmental and ongoing health needs for children and young people from 0 to 18 years, unless the child attends a special needs school, where care may be provided by the school’s paediatric team. Developmental paediatricians work in a multidisciplinary team with other professionals to support the child and family, ensuring continuity of care and liaising with hospital services when needed.
Early Years SEND Advisory Team (previously called Pre-school teaching team (Barnet)):
Supports children under 5 with developmental delays or disabilities living in Barnet. They provide home-based teaching support to children under the age of 5. They work with parents and carers to promote developmental progress. Referrals are reviewed at a multi-agency meeting.
