External Scrutiny - Local Mental Health Services for Young People
Sarah Garner will be attending the next meeting of the Overview & Scrutiny Committee on 15-Apr-21 to give a short presentation on Local Mental Health Services for Young People. As Members will remember, this arose out of the external Scrutiny of Local Mental Health Services for Adults undertaken earlier in the municipal year. To that end, could I ask Members to let me know of any issues that they would like to raise in advance of the meeting (by email please) so that I can brief Ms Garner. The issue of “how apparent mental health concerns amongst local students could be referred to service providers by primary and secondary schools in the Epping Forest District, and how quickly such referrals could expect to be assessed” is already on the list.
Members should also note that Ms Garner is the Assistant Director for the Southend, Essex & Thurrock Children & Young Peoples Emotional Wellbeing & Mental Health Collaborative and that the current contract is Essex-wide. Therefore, Ms Garner will be able to update Members on what is available in West Essex, but not specifically Epping Forest, although the District does form part of the West Essex region.
