29th March 2021

Dear Family,

You will have received a letter in January informing you about the upcoming reconfiguration of all Children’s Disability Services across the country. In that letter you will have been given some information on Why this change is taking place, about the New Children’s Disability Network Teams being established and What it means for your child.

I am delighted to be able to tell you that the date for reconfiguration of services is finally confirmed as June 28th 2021. June will be a busy month for all existing and new services ensuring safe transfer of all relevant information and files, accommodating and training new staff teams, preparing premises and planning interventions. The timeframe for reconfiguration is as follows:

 May 24th: Children’s files will begin to safely transfer to new CDNTs  June 14th: All staff will reconfigure and move to their new teams  June 28th: New CDNTs will commence the provision of services to children and families.

You may have some concerns or questions and we would like to give you the opportunity to have them answered. There are four main ways for you to get more information.
