This detailed flowchart provides a clear, step-by-step overview of the CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services) referral pathway, designed to guide professionals through the process from initial concern to intervention. It highlights key stakeholders, including parents, teachers, social workers, GPs, and social care, and outlines the distinct routes for referrals that either meet or do not meet the service threshold. For accepted referrals, the diagram illustrates the progression through triage, assessment, and the development of a tailored treatment plan, offering invaluable trauma-informed guidance for residential child care managers, foster parents, and social workers navigating complex behavioral needs.
