About

Cheshire West and Chester Borough Council awarded a contract to Polaris Children's Services Ltd for the provision of an Emotional Health and Wellbeing Service for children and young people.

The service provides high-quality, evidence-based interventions for children and young people with a range of emotional, health, and wellbeing needs, supporting them to thrive and fulfil their developmental, social, emotional, and educational potential.

The contract consolidates two previously separate services into one integrated service.

It supports children and young people with a Team around the Family assessment (including NEET young people), a Child in Need plan, a Child Protection Plan, and those who are Looked After, who do not meet the threshold for the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS).

The service delivers consultation, assessment, short to medium term evidence-based interventions, and referral or access to appropriate services where assessment indicates longer term or more complex needs.

The contract value is £1,206,000.
