The coroner’s concerns

I was provided with evidence that the OT referral made to the Chi ld Development Centre in Warrington was not accepted because Erik was 17 years old and they were only commissioned to age 16. I was informed that there was no provision in comm issioning for new OT referrals for sensory needs and that he was signposted to possible adult services although these would only accept him once he was 18. A gap in the commissioning and support for these high risk individuals was identified.
