Who are we?
The South Derbyshire Neurodevelopmental Community Hubs are a free service commissioned by the NHS/Joined Up Care Derbyshire to provide information and guidance (IAG) to children, young people and families in the South Derbyshire area that may be neurodivergent. No diagnosis is needed to access the service, as the service is designed to support families that are currently awaiting assessment to ensure they can access holistic support and information whilst they wait.
Neurodevelopmental conditions
When neurodevelopmental conditions or characteristics are identified early, children, young people and their families can be better supported to understand their condition and the support they need at home and within wider society.
Examples of some of the areas we can support with are listed below:
School, communication and interaction, sensory processing, behaviour, sleeping, eating, toileting, play and many more.
How can we help?
One of our advisors can signpost you to resources and local/national services that can support you with a wide range of things relating to neurodevelopmental conditions over the phone or face-to-face at one our weekly hubs. Just drop-in to a hub or contact us to book in.
As we are a part of Citizens Advice Mid Mercia (CAMM) we can also refer you to our internal services covering benefits, debt, housing and generalist advise.
Community hub locations
Our hubs take place every Monday 10am-4pm alternating between Citizens Advice Mid Mercia in Church Gresley and Swadlincote Library. We also run satellite hubs in the local community which take place at venues such as schools, children’s centres and early years settings.
