SENCO & School Referrals

Faster Access to ADHD Assessments, Therapy & Clinical Support for Pupils

Schools are under increasing pressure to support pupils with complex emotional, behavioural and neurodevelopmental needs, often alongside lengthy NHS waiting lists and limited access to external services.

At ISC-CARE, we work alongside SENCOs, safeguarding leads, pastoral teams and schools to provide timely access to ADHD assessments, therapy and emotional wellbeing support for pupils who may be struggling academically, emotionally, socially or behaviourally.

ISC-CARE is a CQC-registered independent healthcare provider, and all services are delivered in line with NICE guidelines, robust clinical governance standards, safeguarding procedures, and multidisciplinary oversight.

All prescribing pathways are delivered under medical oversight and in accordance with NICE guidance and safe prescribing standards.
