Birmingham Community Children's Centre

Really good. I went for the 2 years check as I was concerned about his speech and put in a referral.

SALT see him every few months and CAT come out to nursery. It's all very organised.

There is a lack of support and help from health visitors when trying to get a diagnosis or assessments.

It took 4 years for my son to get seen and assessed for a disability with learning. (Autism). My older son wasn't diagnosed until he was 14 years old.

I had to go to Nechells to see the health visitor as no one came to see us. I had a 2 year check that had to be done. It wasn't like they were checking up on us. It was more of a thing they had to do.

Waiting for a referral to paediatrician since before covid. I think my son has autism. Asked doctor to refer still waiting since last year.

I've met one twice. Came out when they were born. I've never met one properly, met one this time last year, I think that's why there's a delay for her personally. She should have had more help. Had one call from SALT and it was a video call and she was asleep so they didn't see her. Her 2 year old check up was done through a postal form.

I've been in touch with the health visitor, they referred my son to the paediatrician and Speech and Language Therapist, because of covid this was done over the phone. They gave me plans of what to do in the meantime, but I feel like he's been sidelined. Wish there was more access to these services.

Had two year old review over the phone, very rushed too busy to speak and since, 3 year old daughter has had issues with speech. I have been waiting for a phone call to address daughters speech for 4 months.

1 year check up, no one got in contact with me, I was waiting 3 and a half months for the health visitor to contact me. Noone has been in contact with me to have a general, how is everything getting on.
