The programme completed in March 2011.

Each authority delivered a programme in a way which was relevant to the need, had a project lead and/or manager, a steeering group and worked with groups of school partners in their cluster areas.  All of them had close links to their CAMHS/Emotional Health and Well-Being Partnership groups.

The key objectives were to ensure integrated and timely responses and build capacity in school communities to recognise problems early and where possible deal with them in the school situation.

Where this was not possible for an individual child the links to more intensive types of intervention should be well understood and easily achieved.  Programmes are still being evaluated both locally and nationally (the Me and My School survey).
