care professionals across Cheshire East.It is a centralised contact centre and digital one stop shop for all things 0-19+. The single point of
access model enables families and health professionals to be directed to the right service at the right time,
with service users only telling their story once which reduces stress and anxiety for many people.It offers a person centred approach and is staffed by clinical and non-clinical staff who triage and respond to
calls from parents, carers, young people and health and care professionals across Cheshire East.Staff provide a range of support, as well as signposting and following up families depending on their need.
