Technical requirements: NHS North Derbyshire Clinical Commissioning Group is acting as the Lead Commissioner on behalf of the Derbyshire CCG's which includes:
The targeted early intervention service provides the opportunity to improve the outcomes for children and young people with moderate mental health problems. It is being commissioned in response to strategic priority 5 of the Derbyshire and Derby Future in Mind plan. Our aim is to consolidate, stabilise and strengthen our offer to children, young people and families based on feedback from existing service provision and learning to date. The service is intended to support those children who need more specialist support than can be provided by schools, primary care, local authorities and more general services for children in communities, but who do not meet current specialist CAMHS thresholds. The intention is to provide short evidence-informed interventions as needs emerge to improve outcomes and reduce the need for future more intensive CAMHS interventions and reduce the likelihood of them developing a more serious mental health condition because of the timely support they will receive.
NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit (NHS Arden and GEM CSU) on behalf of the Derbyshire CCGs including:
— NHS Southern Derbyshire CCG are inviting suitably qualified providers capable of delivering a Derbyshire wide (including Derby City), targeted early intervention service to address children and young people’s mental health for 0-17 years old who are registered with member GP practices of:
The service will contribute to the Future in Mind Vision in Derbyshire that “Children and young people are able to achieve positive emotional health by having access to high quality, local provision, appropriate to their need, as well as a range of support enabling self-help, recovery and wellbeing”
— improvement/stabilisation in the mental health of children and young people who are referred to the service,
— improvement in the support to parents and carers (parents will report that they are better/able to help their child as a result of the support they received).
The overall ambition is for there to be provision across Derby and Derbyshire offered in communities for 0-17 years and skill mix to meet a wide range of needs.
The overall aim of the Targeted Early Intervention service is to deliver targeted “direct work” with children and young people and their families that will improve/manage the young person’s mental health and wellbeing, and provide them with tools so that, as far as possible, they are enabled to maintain and improve their own mental wellbeing.
The service will aim to ensure that children and young people are prevented from moving to higher levels of needs and, wherever possible, their prevailing levels of need also reduce.
