enables vulnerable children and young people access to evidence
based psychological support. The model in place is based on
practice learning and national and international evidence
base.
To date the agreement has been funded through Partners in Practice
(PiP) monies which cease in March 2020. The County Council’s
Management Board gave agreement to additional funding to continue
this service on 10 December 2019.
