The overall aim of the research is to examine the extent to which developments since the Children (Leaving Care) Act 2000 have improved outcomes for young people leaving care, particularly those with mental health issues.
This sector-led improvement programme is an opportunity for councils and their partners to access leading expertise, learn from one another and share good practice.
The following case studies stand as examples of good practice, success stories and promising initiatives in supporting young people with their mental health.
These top tips, and key actions, have been co-developed to support effective collaborative partnership working in the planning and delivery of community mental health services. They recognise that every heath and care system will experience challenges in relation to partnership working given the statutory and cultural differences of organisations working across the mental health pathways and that there will be different arrangements to frame local partnership working, including for example a Section 75 agreement.
