We said in our plan – Early Help and Prevention: Every school and universal setting will have a named lead within its establishment Each setting will have access to a ‘link work’ function who will have a specific mental health role - locally based, provide and facilitate local networks of support and link with wider early help provision Establish a sense of offer, set clear guidance and create a menu of services Provide training for the universal workforce and co-ordinate centrally, training that available across the partnership

We said in our plan – Accessibility: Simplify the routes for those needing advice and help by moving to a genuine Single Point of Contact for requests for help, advice and referrals  Invest recurrently in establishing and developing a unified, safe range of online support and treatment options for children, young people and families   Improve the skills of staff in non-specialist mental health settings to identify, recognise, source and/or provide effective mental health support for children and young people Commission additional targeted and specialist capacity, including better aligning and boosting existing capacity built into the Norfolk and Waveney system to assess and treat protected group – LAC, Domestic Abuse, Young Offenders and Young Carers  Ensure that client/patient/family views feedback is captured, reported and reviewed robustly and regularly
