Important referral route update
Devon County Council’s ROVIC Service has been supported in partnership with Children and Family Health Devon through the Single point of access (SPA) for many years.
From the 31st March 2024 Devon County Council have developed an alternative route to request services. Referrals for the ROVIC team will be submitted directly to the ROVIC Service effective as of 1st April 2024.
Parents, Carers and Professionals can request our services using the online request for service form.
Children and Family Health Devon (CFHD) and Devon County Council (DCC) will continue to work in partnership to support children and young people and families in Devon, during this transition.
We know that this is a big change for families and we are working hard to ensure this is a seamless transition. If you have any comments or concerns Devon County Council are receiving feedback via a request for feedback form.
We work from several offices across Devon. County Hall in Exeter is our administrative office base. Our other offices listed below:
- Springfield Court, Barnstaple.
- Phoenix House, Tiverton.
- Follaton House, Totnes.
