NHS Confederation - 31st March 2023
The Doncaster Children's Partnership set up the multi-agency Social and Emotional Mental Health (SEMH) Group, which brings together key influencers and decision-makers from the CCG, local authority, children and young people's mental health service provider and other partners. The SEMH promotes better joint assessments, planning and service delivery for vulnerable young people in need of care, which has led to reduced delays and improved access to appropriate help and support for children and young people in the local area.
Key benefits and outcomes
- Improved multi-agency working through developing good working relationships and trust between partners.
- Timely access to appropriate help and support for children and young people, regardless of where they present or what the presenting issue is.
- Improved support for case managers in risk management and care planning through weekly virtual joint meetings to share and discuss cases.
- Better understanding of the needs of children and young people and the impact on different agencies.
