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.


The aim of our service 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.

Key new features include a Children's Single Point of Access (SPA) into the service, clear early signposting, and use of digital channels such as Big White Wall to access support and services.
