follows:<\/p>\n<p>Referrals will be considered for children\/young people aged 0-18 years:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Who meet the broad complex needs criteria outlined in the \u2018Framework for Integrated Care,\u2019 namely their difficulties are:\n<ul>\n<li>Multiple (ie not just in one domain, such as mental and physical health)<\/li>\n<li>Persistent (ie long term rather than transient, including for example learning disability, autism or both)<\/li>\n<li>Severe (ie not responding to standard \u2018clinical\u2019 interventions)<\/li>\n<li>Framed by family and social contexts (such as: early family disruption, loss, inequality, prevalence of Adverse Childhood Experiences)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Where there are significant concerns about ongoing emotional, mental health or neurodevelopmental difficulties which cannot\/are not being addressed by existing provision<\/li>\n<li>In addition there may be:\n<ul>\n<li>lack of a clear formulation of the child\/young person\u2019s situation and it is felt that this would be of value<\/li>\n<li>systemic blockage or failure of a plan to progress because of cross-agency disagreement<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>There is no automatic reason why a child placed out of area should not be referred<\/li>\n<li>Referrals can be accepted from individual practitioners or from a cross-agency group working with a child\/young person.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div
