Rejected petition Reinstate Colchester Child Assessment and Devolpment Unit (CADU)
On 6th October Colchester CADU was closed with parents left in the dark as to when, or if, these services would resume. Children under 5 now have no way to access diagnosis or support for conditions such as autism and speech and language issues. Early diagnosis is crucial so please read and sign.
