Single Point of Access (SPA) Consultation & Advice line 0300 300 1585

The Single Point of Access (SPA) Consultation and Advice Line is a dedicated telephone service available to professionals in Kent and Medway who work with children and young people (0-18 years) dealing with mental health, emotional well-being, or neurodevelopmental conditions like Autism and ADHD. This service provides quick, secure consultations with SPA clinicians, offering tailored advice and recommendations to support professionals in addressing these issues with children, young people, and their families.

Available on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00-12:00, each consultation lasts about 20 minutes and focuses on one case per call. Professionals must obtain consent from families or young people (16+), and clinicians provide guidance, suggest interventions, and document the consultation’s key points. For complex cases, professionals may be directed to submit a formal SPA referral.
