MOSAIC Sleep Service

MOSAIC Sleep Service supports good sleep behaviour for children with developmental concerns, disabilities and complex needs. • Following a referral parents/carers are initially invited to opt in to three short video link workshops which will be emailed to them to watch in their own time. These workshops offer basic guidance on preventing and managing sleep problems. • Once parents have had the opportunity to put strategies recommended in the workshop in place the Sleep Service also offers one to one sleep counselling for children with developmental concerns and complex needs via a phone call.  • Where sleep medication is required, appointments and reviews with a consultant psychiatrist within the sleep service is organised. Prescription of the medication is initiated and then shared with the family’s GP and paediatrician. • The service offers sleep consultation to other professionals (e.g. special schools, charities, social care, CAMHS workers) working with children with developmental concerns, disabilities and complex needs in Camden.
