The Council for Disabled Children (CDC) has recently published a new e-learning course called ‘The Role of CAMHS in the EHCP Process’. This is a freely available, self-guided course. This training is aimed at adults with a role to play in the Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) system. It includes topics such as the SEND system and legislative processes, importance of children and young people’s (CYP) voices, support on CAMHS advice, and roles and responsibilities in the SEND system regarding CAMHS. This package of online training has been developed as part of the Delivering Better Outcomes Together programme, funded by the Department for Education and delivered in partnership by CDC, NDTi and Mott Macdonald. There are four lessons and each lesson will approximately take 30-60 minutes.


Please see below the flyer for more information.

On Thursday 5th March 2020 at Trinity Centre, Holy Trinity Church, Maldon Road, Wallington SM6 8BL the Council for Disabled Children (CDC) facilitated a SEND Outcomes Framework Workshop for the Local Area. Phillipa Watts from the (CDC) facilitating the event and both Councillor Marian James and Councillor Jenny Batt attended.

The aim of the day was to :

To start to develop an outcomes based framework

To hear and learn from examples of best practice from CDC on implementing a whole system approach to support children and young people with SEND and their families;

Through group discussion:

to agree a high level outcomes based commissioning approach to help us to deliver our vision of what we want to achieve for all children and young people with SEND and their families in Sutton and how a whole system approach can support this;

to develop a clearer picture of the ‘as is’ position in Sutton from the different perspectives in the room, including what’s working well and key challenges;

to identify a list of opportunities to strengthen joint working/implement a whole system approach.

The workshop consisted of presentations, plenary discussions and table top discussions. Please take a moment to browse through the slides below to see what was discussed and our conclusions from the day.
