The children's community learning disabilities nursing team is a specialised service, which works with families to meet the behavioural needs of children and young people with learning disabilities in Suffolk.
For some referrals, it may be appropriate for the team to discuss the referral with another health team within Suffolk County Council to ensure the most appropriate service is available for the child/young person care.
