About NELFT's CAMHS


NELFT's CAMHS is for anybody aged between 5-18, living in the Waltham Forest area and is free at the point of entry.


All referrals to the service are assessed using a care pathways approach, developed in line with the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidance criteria (NICE) and based on a best practice model of treatment.

Locality Teams in CAMHS


The aim of our new CAMHS is to respond earlier to children and young people's needs in order to help prevent, reduce or delay the need for more specialist interventions.

This transformation of children and young people's mental health services has a clinical focus, integrated with local authorities to deliver a long term collaborative approach to planning and delivering services.


CAMHS focuses on emotional wellbeing as well as mental health and includes access to self-help tools and services based in schools and the community.

The CAMHS Tier II and Tier III service no longer exist, replaced with an integrated CAMHS based around primary and secondary care.

Training and support is available to other professionals and agencies. We are creating a modern service that fits with children's lives in a way that best suits them. Key new features include a Children's Single Point of Access (CSPA) into the service, clear early signposting, and use of digital channels


The service is driven by the principles underpinning the national CYP-IAPT programme (Children and Young People's Improving Access to Psychological Therapies); evidence based interventions, routine measurement of outcomes, access to high quality training and supervision for professionals and true co-production with children and young people.


Each locality CAMHS team has four secondary care pathways and the p[rimary care team is integrated into this providing seamless services.

Each care pathway is clinically led, with care pathway leads operationally managing all CAMHS practitioners working in that care pathway.

With the support of the team manager, care pathway leads are responsible for assessment, treatment and systematic outcome measurement in that care pathway.

CAMHS multi-disciplinary pathway workers and mental health workers may work across more than one care pathway in a locality team.


Care pathway leads and practitioners ensure that a high quality, timely, accessible and evidence-based service is available to all children and young people who need it.

This means establishing and maintaining excellent working relationships with wider social, health and voluntary services.

Working in our CAMHS locality teams is for you if you are excited by a modern approach. We would very much like to hear from you.
