This will take you to the online resource that schools can use to support any children or young people with needs in this area. Graduated response means that schools will provide help and support, starting with universally available help and moving towards more specialised help if this is not successful.
Some schools in Rotherham are also involved with the ‘With Me in Mind’ project which means that they have access to a team of support workers based in schools.

Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS)
CAMHS provide a range of different services for children and young people aged 5 to 18 years old. Young people themselves (or any practitioner working with them) are able to access some initial advice through the ‘getting advice’ pathway. Staff on the ‘getting advice’ pathway will identify whether children and young people would benefit from seeing one of the other teams in CAMHS and will pass them on as needed.

YoungMinds supports young people’s mental health with advice, resources, and a Parents Helpline. They also campaign to improve mental health services and offer tools for families and professionals.
