📢 Right to Choose – Important Update

We want to keep you informed about recent changes affecting assessment waiting times.

All providers have now been issued with an indicative activity plan by the Integrated Care Board. As part of our contract, we are limited to the number of assessments we can carry out each year.

Based on current projections, it is expected that our waiting time may extend beyond one year. Please note that this is subject to change as circumstances evolve.

We have contacted everyone currently on our waiting list with this update.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with the integrated care board via:
📧 nwicb.contactus@nhs.net

Thank you for your patience and understanding 💙

🦚 Our Earsham Hall clinic has some rather beautiful neighbours… the resident peacocks who live on the grounds! 🦚

They are always a big hit with the children who come to see us, and spotting them can make a visit to the clinic feel extra special 💙✨

Here are a few peacock facts children might enjoy:
🦚 A peacock’s tail feathers can be over 1 metre long
🦚 The shiny colours on their feathers don’t just come from pigment, they also come from the way light reflects on them, which is why they shimmer so brightly in the sun ✨
🦚 Peacocks can fly, even though many people think they can’t, usually up into trees or onto rooftops
🦚 They like to roost up high at night to stay safe
🦚 Their loud calls can carry a long way, so if you hear a sudden shout, it may just be one of the Earsham Hall peacocks saying hello!
🦚 A group of peafowl is sometimes called a “party” or an “ostentation” which feels very fitting for such dramatic birds!

If you see the resident peacocks during your visit, here are our friendly peacock rules:
💙 Please admire them from a distance
💙 Use calm voices and gentle movements
💙 Do not chase them
💙 Please do not touch or feed them
💙 Let them wander peacefully around their home 🌿

We love that visiting our Earsham Hall clinic can include little moments like this, a glimpse of the resident peacocks, a bit of curiosity, and sometimes a little extra magic too 🦚💙

We’re really pleased to share that CATS (Community Assessment Therapy Services) continues to grow, and due to increasing demand for our specialist services we are expanding our clinic locations.

As part of this growth, we are delighted to be working with Eudaemonia Group , running some of our clinics from their beautiful clinic rooms in Norwich.

This additional space allows our team to support more children, young people and families, providing high-quality assessments and therapy in a calm, professional environment.

At CATS, we are committed to improving access to specialist services, and expanding our clinic locations helps us reduce waiting times and ensure families can access the support they need sooner.

We’re excited about this collaboration and look forward to continuing to grow our services across the region.

📣 New Service Launch – Educational Psychology Assessments at CATS!

We’re excited to announce our Educational Psychology Service, designed to give children and young people (0–25) the support and insight they deserve.

Child and educational psychologists use evidence-based tools, observation, consultation and assessment to understand strengths, challenges and support needs across areas such as learning, communication, social-emotional wellbeing and behaviour.

✨ Why this matters:
• Support EHCP applications & reviews with high-quality, independent psychological assessment.
• Get robust evidence for SENDIST (SEND Tribunal) appeals, including written reports and support if required.
• Informed, detailed reports that help shape the right educational provision.

🧠 Whether you’re starting an EHC needs assessment, preparing for a tribunal appeal, or seeking expert insight into your child’s needs, our team is here to help.

✨ We’re so excited to welcome Dr Tamara Scully to CAT Services for our latest online workshop! ✨

This practical, down-to-earth session is for parents of highly sensitive children. Children who feel things deeply, become overwhelmed easily, and can have big emotional reactions to everyday situations.

Together, we’ll explore:
🌱 What sensitivity really means
🌱 How it shows up in daily family life
🌱 Why mornings, homework and bedtime can so often turn into battles

You’ll come away with simple, realistic strategies to:
✔️ Support your child when emotions run high
✔️ Help them feel safer and more settled
✔️ Reduce stress and tension at home

This session is supportive, non-judgemental and blame-free, just practical ideas to help you understand your child better and make family life feel a little calmer and easier.

✨ We’re so excited to share that from tomorrow, CATS OTs will be working from this amazing Sensory Integration clinic thanks to Grow OT ✨

This marks a really special step for us and we are so excited to use this calm and well-equipped space to deliver Ayres Sensory Integration® (ASI) assessments and intervention.

ASI is an evidence-based occupational therapy approach that helps children and young people make sense of sensory information so they can participate more fully in everyday activities. By supporting the brain’s ability to process and integrate sensory input, ASI can positively impact attention, emotional regulation, motor skills, confidence and independence.

This amazing clinic space is designed to support high-quality sensory integration assessment and intervention, using specialist equipment in a safe, welcoming environment where children can feel comfortable to explore, play and grow🩵🩷
