How to Refer

Criteria for referral

Any child between 2 – 16 (or up to 18 if appropriate) who has a high growth chart reading (>91st centile) or who would like to have a better relationship with food, or who would like to improve their body confidence.

Exceptions can be made for children and families who do not meet the criteria but who would benefit from attending the programme.

Please use the following form to refer on to the X Programme. This can be completed by families, or by professionals and returned to the paediatrics dieticians by paediatricdietitians@highland.gov.uk.

Your child will be referred to the most appropriate service based on the details you give in the referral form. This may be the ‘X Programme’, however there is also a one-to-one service called the ‘Y Programme’. You can talk to a dietitian about which service is best for your family.

NB: The PDF can be completed electronically whilst the MS Word version is for printing and completing by hand.
