Calderdale & Kirklees Single Point of Access

The Calderdale and Kirklees Single Point of Access team (SPA) ensures that all urgent and routine referrals for Trust mental health services from GPs, and other statutory and third sector referrals are processed and responded to in a timely way, following a triage process.

If you are an existing service user or a member of the public looking for urgent help for you or someone you know, please visit our ‘‘help in a crisis’ page.

The team screens all referrals for urgency, i.e. whether they need a response within 4 hours or 14 days or give advice for alternative help. They will refer all those who have been screened to need a 4 response (urgent referral) to the Intensive Home Based Treatment team for a face to face assessment. They will also see some people who need an assessment within 14 days.
