AI Summary

The North Wales Children’s Regional Partnership Board is commissioning a comprehensive review of the Children’s Services operating across the six local authorities and the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board. The review will focus on the impact of the COVID‑19 pandemic on the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people, drawing on insights from the Children’s Commissioner’s “Coronavirus and Me” report and the Welsh Government’s post‑COVID reconstruction plans. The purpose is to assess current service delivery, identify gaps, and recommend enhancements to crisis support and trauma‑informed care for this vulnerable population.

Applicants must demonstrate an understanding of the complexities of referrals and the increased demand for mental‑health interventions highlighted in the joint 2024 Health, Care and Education Inspectorate report.

The Consultant must adhere to the Welsh Government Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2025‑2035 and the Suicide Prevention and Self‑Harm strategy.

For an individual, or individuals, or organisation with suitable experience and staff, holding relevant professional qualification(s) to undertake a review of Childrens Services in North Wales.
In Wales, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on children and young people’s mental health has been identified as a priority by the Children’s Commissioner in her ‘Coronavirus and Me[JW1.1]’ report and as part of the Welsh Government COVID-19 Reconstruction Plans. Mental health is a broad area, but the importance of effective mental health crisis support for children and young people has been outlined in both the ‘Mental health and wellbeing strategy 2025 to 2035’, and the ‘Suicide prevention and self-harm: strategy and delivery plan’ for Wales.
Across the 6 Local Authorities and in the Health Board (Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board) in North Wales we have seen an increase in volume of referrals but also the complexity due to the trauma that children and young people have experienced.
In 2024 a joint report by the Health, Care, and Education Inspectorates in Wales highlights the need for improvements in mental health support for children and young people.
