1. Begin with a short conversation
Share strengths, concerns, current location and timing without sending sensitive reports through the general enquiry form.
What to expect
A transparent journey from first question to next step.
Knowing the process can reduce pressure. Each stage should have a clear purpose, honest limits and room for the family to pause or ask questions.
A direct answer
What happens after I contact Gifted Kids?
A first conversation should help the team understand what you are noticing and help you decide whether a visit, developmental assessment or another next step may be useful. Programme fit, intensity, fees, schedules and availability should be confirmed only after sufficient information is understood.
What good practice looks like
Clear principles families can question.
2. Clarify the useful next step
The team explains whether a visit, structured observation or assessment may add value and what that process can and cannot establish.
3. Discuss priorities and practicalities
If support is appropriate, the family should understand the goals, arrangement, review process, current fees and availability before deciding.
Questions to bring
Specific questions reveal more than broad promises.
Who will reply to the enquiry?
What information is needed before a visit?
How are recommendations explained?
When are fees and current availability confirmed?
A specific response time and named admissions owner remain awaiting operational confirmation.
