East of England Community Forensic CAMHS

The East of England Forensic Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (FCAMHS) will accept referrals for advice only from all agencies across the East of England region from 28 January 2019. This constitutes part of a phased roll out of the service.

FCAMHS is a regional specialist service, hosted by Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Foundation NHS Trust, for children and young people aged 0-18 whereby:

  • there is a concern about a young person's mental health(this may include neurodevelopmental disorder and/or learning disability)
  • the young person presents with high risk of harm to others and about whom there is major family or professional concern
  • the young person may be in contact with the criminal justice system or be likely to enter secure care.

FCAMHS accepts referrals from any professional working with children and young people.

For further information on how to make a referral and to view a copy of the FCAMHS leaflets and privacy notice, please visit their webpage at: http://www.cpft.nhs.uk/training/forensic-children-and.htm
