CAMHS professionals are great. CAMHS services are not. That’s the consequence of 10+ yrs of austerity stripping out pre-CAMHS services like health visitors, school nurses & children’s centres, and 10 years of increased MH awareness but no increased CAMHS capacity. #LostGeneration

CAMHS reject 80%+ of referrals.
Emily had to wait years for an autism diagnosis & the appointment was so horrific.. GP was struck off.
We paid thousands to go private in the end for Emilys mental health sake.
No parent should be forced into debt to save their child Nadine Dorries

If Nadine Dorries thinks CAMHS is well-resourced, perhaps she could explain why some providers turn away 80%+ of referrals?
If she has an answer, could she explain why some children waited 450+ days for autism support, 280 days for PTSD and 195 days for help after an overdose?

CAMHS My experience. They have Consultants listed as in-charge but never there as have own private practice. They fill the NHS roles with newly-qualifieds who are not supervised properly whose job it is to process and discharge ASAP to get through waiting lists.

I will be writing to the Department for Education DfE to ask that they seriously consider an expansion of this programme to a whole SEND approach delivered in partnership with the NHS HEE.

3/4 @greatmindsmcr Their model is an addition to the system that pulls together all dept’s as well as concentrating on an increase in training for local authority teams, befrienders and school staff, whilst increasing education in SEND for graduates in teaching and social care!

This is a model I have previously supported as it focusses on the individual and helps the education, health and care system to work as it was originally intended!

1/4 I’ve been talking to @greatmindsmcr who have linked up with @nhs_hee to deliver the first national Peer Education model for Autism, providing wraparound support and upskilling the people around individual families.

Shifting the emphasis of supporting SEND students to classroom teachers without giving them extensive SEND training is almost as damaging as making families and schools beg and fight for EHCP funding. The system in reality is rigged against these students despite policy intent.

Being autistic at school can look like a lot of different things. But here is one presentation we hear about often when talking with autistic girls and their parents. When schools can't see a problem, parents of #autistic children are left to fight for an autism assessment alone.

Behind closed bedroom doors, a teenage mental health crisis is brewing ‘Almost all parents I spoke to stressed that they didn’t want schools rushing back in the pandemic before it was safe ... they wanted was to be heard, and helped.’ @Q66Suzi theguardian.com/commentisfre…

We have been working with a number of LA’s and Schools recently, building more evidence that a multi-agency support model makes a positive difference to our system. A model that starts with the families rather than the processes makes such a difference #inunitythereisstrength

It was an honour to attend a SEND RoundTable this week with @gfreeman2012 and @send_march to discuss what an emergency SEND plan would look like #SENDresolution #workingtogether #MakeItHappen
