CHAT Tool - Offender Health Research Network

CHAT NEURODISABILITY ASSESSMENT
• Every young person admitted will be seen by a member of health care staff and receive a neurodisability
assessment using this tool within 10 DAYS of arrival.
• This will be completed by a Registered Mental Health Nurse (RMN), Child and Adolescent Mental Health
(CAMHS) Practitioner or a Registered Learning Disability Nurse.
• Prior to interview with the young person, review their notes and discuss their presentation/functioning with a
staff member who knows them well to obtain any relevant information. Look for any evidence of special
schooling, school difficulties/exclusions, early developmental problems, injuries, reports that may indicate
learning disability, speech and language or social communication difficulties (autistic spectrum disorders).
• Refer to other parts of the CHAT to inform the care plan.
