Delivery will build on the 2015 joint NHS England and DfE Mental Health Services and Schools Link pilot (Phase 1), and the current Phase 2 which is ongoing until March 2019. The training is designed to improve communication and facilitate joined up working between schools/colleges and Mental Health services so that more children and young people get the help and support they need at the right time, in the right place and do not fall through the gaps or experience poor transition between services.

The service is made up of 2 core delivery elements: 1 - Recruit and manage CCGs, schools and colleges nationally from across England to take part in joint training workshops for named leads in schools and mental health services. 2 - Deliver a workshop training programme to schools and colleges in England based on the model delivered during the second phase of the programme. The contract period will be for an initial term of 2 years with an option to extend up to a further 2 years, taking the full contract term to a maximum of 4 years. Additional information: The contract includes the option to extend the contract for a period,or periods,up to a total of 2 additional years taking the maximum contract term to 4 years.
