Referral Details: Referrals usually need to come from consultants working in secondary care, after an initial assessment has been made and treatment has been started. They do not accept referrals directly from families or from GPs. They also typically do not usually accept direct referrals from doctors not working in the NHS (private practice paediatricians).

If you think your child has a sleep problem which may benefit from referral, you should discuss with your GP or paediatrician in the first instance.
