Leicestershire County Council, Leicester City Council and Rutland County Council are participating in the Link Programme.
The programme is delivered by the Anna Freud Centre, funded by the Department for Education, and will bring together local leaders in education and mental health to identify the support required by children and young people in our area.
As part of the programme the Anna Freud Centre will convene and facilitate three tailored support sessions, which two are now available to book on.
The sessions will take place over Zoom and will include stakeholders from across the local authority in education and mental health.
The content of the tailored support sessions is based on the CASCADE framework and on the current challenges and priorities for this locality:
