Early Years Health Notification, Section 23
How to contact this service
Description
Early Years Health Notifications
Health professionals must tell the Local Authority if they identify that a child below school age has, or may have, SEND (special educational needs and/or disabilities).
This is known as an Early Years Health Notification (EYHN). The notification helps ensure children and families receive information, advice and support as early as possible.
What happens next?
If your child attends an early years setting:
-
The Local Authority records the notification.
-
Families and settings are informed.
-
Information about support, services and resources is shared.
If your child does not attend an early years setting:
-
The notification is reviewed by the Inclusion and Intervention Support Team (IIST).
-
The family may be contacted to discuss support needs.
-
Information and signposting to relevant services may be provided.
Why this is important
Early identification helps children get the right support as soon as possible. It helps families and professionals work together to understand a child's needs and access support early.
