The full Government response to the final report of the independent CAMHS Review, setting out progress to date and plans for the future of children and young people’s mental health.
The response also gives examples of the outcomes expected from a good service as an aid for commissioners, providers and practitioners.
The publication sets out a package of support to help Children’s Trusts, including:
- guidance on supporting the emotional health of children, the commissioning of services and the self assessment of local services;
- an enhanced National Support Programme for practitioners, providers and commissioners, building on the work of the National CAMHS Support Service and related field forces;
- the roll-out of the £60 million Targeted Mental Health in Schools programme;
- the allocation of approximately £58 million to support the co-location of health services incorporating mental health provision alongside schools or youth centre type settings through the Co-location Fund; and
- a programme of action to support the workforce, including the announcement of new training support in relation to children with learning disabilities and children at risk of self harming.
