Working for our organisation
Gloucester House Outreach Service is a unique service, offering skills and experience in both mental health and education. Although it has links, and some shared staff and working arrangements with Gloucester House, it is a standalone service that can be purchased by local authorities or schools. The service works with children, families and the professional network around the child – for example schools, CAMHS and children’s services.
The multi-disciplinary service offers bespoke multi-disciplinary education and clinical interventions for children, schools, families and networks to support pupils with complex SEMH needs to remain in school. It also provides specialist integrated education and therapeutic packages within the community where a child is unable to be educated and supported within a school setting.
The service also offers specialist consultation and trainings to schools or other partner agencies in the context of supporting children with SEMH needs through the Gloucester House model.
The Service offers support to professional and informal networks and the collaborative coordination of complex networks to achieve coherent and effective care plans. This might include bringing complex networks together, reflective practice staff groups, training.
