This service aims to process, assess and determine the mental health needs of children and young people (CYP) to ensure their needs are met with the correct service provision through liaison and multi-agency working.

The SPA is first point of clinical contact for CYP, families and referrers and offers consultation and advice prior to referral and during the triage phase.

The SPA is a multi-disciplinary team with strong links to wider CYP Mental Health, Health and Social Care services.

Our service is developing to consult with our colleagues across Health, Education and Social Care, working with our partners across South Staffordshire and neighbouring areas, to promote preventative support and develop ease of access to all services within our areas.

The CAMHS SPA is part of the Children and Families Single Point of Access (CaFSPA). The CaFSPA is currently in phase 1 of this new service development, with plans for this to grow and merge with wider children’s services to create a ‘front door’ service that will ensure our children and families journeys begin in the right place and allow for smoother transition around services.
