About us
ESHV
operates an open referral system whereby any agency can
request
advice or support. The service offers a telephone help-line open from
9.00am until 4.30pm Monday to Friday during school term time.
Where
an expression of concern arises regarding possible visual or hearing
difficulties, schools, parents or other involved parties are invited to
telephone the service on 01482 318400.
Initial details will be
requested regarding the pupil and the nature of the problems being
experienced. ESHV will then normally offer an initial assessment visit
at a mutually agreed date and time. This visit can take place in
school, at home or any other appropriate venue. The service will
endeavour to make the visit within 14 calendar days of the initial
referral although referees should note this is dependent upon the
number of requests being dealt with at the time. As an outcome of the
initial assessment visit and after all appropriate consultation, a
decision will then be reached regarding any further action required.
