Improving the working relationship
between CAMHS and
schools may be the
most impactful thing you can do…
We’d lost sight of how to work
together. Once we made a fresh
start, we realised what a formidable team we could be.

School policies are written by the senior leadership team and
governors
Each school writes their own
Many schools don’t have clear ED policies and procedures because they
don’t know where to start

We wanted to create an environment where eating disorders weren’t taboo.
Where students could confidently raise concerns
about themselves or a friend and where staff knew how to respond appropriately if they
did.

When a pupil goes into inpatient care they often just disappear. We want
to know how to help. What to tell friends,
whether to send messages or work? We feel lost and just need
some guidance.
