Neurodevelopmental Pathways – new proactive communication resources for Cheshire East
The Cheshire and Merseyside NHS Integrated Care Board in Cheshire East Place is pleased to announce new proactive support resources for neurodivergent children, young people, and their families, regardless of where they are on their neurodevelopmental journey.
We commissioned the national charity Contact, in partnership with co-production specialists Genuine Partnerships and the Cheshire East Parent Carer Forum, to co-produce a suite of new materials. These resources were developed together with parents, practitioners, and neurodivergent young people.
The project was led by a neurodivergent graphic designer and a Cheshire East-based project manager, both of whom are parent carers with lived experience.
The outcomes include:
· A new web platform featuring a searchable directory of local and national resources.
· Information on personal passports, current referral pathways, and future service developments.
· Redesigned practitioner guidance and operational communications, co-produced with families.
You can explore these new resources here: www.cheshireandmerseyside.nhs.uk/pathway The resource database will be regularly updated.
Every child and young person has unique needs and the support provided to them should be tailored to respond to this. This initiative aims to empower families with clear, accessible information so they can make informed decisions and access the right support, at the right time.
