The programme aims to connect and align the well-being resources that already exist across organisations and communities in order to achieve optimal well-being outcomes for people. The programme will focus on four key elements: developing place based collaboration, linking community based hubs, developing people who deliver services and support and ensuring easy access to wellbeing information.

II.2.4) Description of the procurement
The ‘iceberg’ model aims to transform how Health, Education, Social Care and Third Sector partners work together and with our communities to meet the emotional wellbeing needs of children, young people and their families. We believe that the traditional ‘pyramidal’ structure of CAMHS provision, with its focus on clinic-based intervention and its location of the problem in the individual child, leaves an ‘iceberg’ of unmet need. To better meet these needs, we aim to reconfigure how services work together and with our communities, replacing the current ‘refer on’ culture with a culture in which ‘support in’ from those with specialist expertise is available to staff on the frontline so that they can ‘hold on’ and support our most vulnerable children. Breaking down traditional barriers and divisions, the model aims to integrate pathways for accessing support, making systems easy to navigate and ensuring that families get the right help, first time, and at the right time. The model focuses on early intervention and prevention, and on understanding and working with the contexts in which children’s emotional wellbeing needs arise. This includes understanding the impact of trauma and ACEs.
