Have you identified a Designated Senior Lead for Mental Health?
Do they have the knowledge and skills to carry out the role?
Do you want to build capacity for them to train and support the rest of your school team?
This programme builds on our successful pilot programme funded by Health Education England and has been clinically quality assured by Manchester CAMHS. It was developed and is delivered by expert school-based practitioners from mainstream and specialist provision throughout the 5-19 age range; successfully combining theory, practical support and resources to enable you to train and support staff in your own setting.
