Improving the mental health of children and young people is a critical priority informing the improvement of children’s services. This summary report draws together the key points of learning from the quarterly action learning set summary reports, and 11 interviews with a range of people involved in delivering Targeted Mental Health in Schools (TaMHS).

Participants were drawn from all pathfinders and divided into four groups based on regional lines. Participants included project managers, practitioners from schools and observers from the TaMHS ‘Me and My School’ National Evaluation.

The report structure covers six specific themes. These themes formed the basis of the interview structure, although most are interlinked in some way.

The themes are: partnerships and multi-agency working; choice of interventions and models of practice; engaging stakeholders (schools, children, young people and parents); evaluation; financial planning; and influencing system change in children’s mental health services.

Throughout the report, case studies and examples of good practice are included in text boxes, providing examples of the project impact on children and young people and their families.
