Children’s Community Therapists assess, recommend and supply specific equipment to children and young people aged 0 – 18 years who are permanent residents of Oxfordshire and who are registered with an Oxfordshire GP. Please refer to this booklet for these queries:

• I have equipment that needs collecting
• Who do I contact if my equipment breaks or needs servicing
• My child has outgrown their equipment
• How do I clean the equipment

The children’s community occupational therapy service provides equipment on an assessed and needs led basis to children and young people at home.

As part of the assessment process we may ask service users to trial commercially available options prior to the provision of more specialist items

The areas we will look at for equipment is seating, bathing, toileting, hoists and slings.

The equipment provided is to enable occupations and participation in daily life. The equipment is provided through the Integrated Community Equipment Store. Read more about the criteria here.

The Children’s Community Physiotherapy Service assesses and provides equipment for children receiving physiotherapy to use at home . We will ensure that the provision of equipment is safe, fair, transparent, efficient and effective.
