years.
3. School aged children – No. of Lambeth schools achieving advanced Healthy
Schools status - To attain 50 of Lambeth schools reaching advanced Healthy
Schools status – Good progress has been made in attaining Healthy Schools
status in Lambeth, however the advanced program will give the opportunity
to give additional focus on emotional well being, substance misuse and
sexual health. It is proposed to broaden the programme to do some targeted
work on obesity, in addition to any national initiatives.
4. Adolescents – No. of services awarded You’re Welcome Status - Improve
youth engagement in health services – there is a high incidence of ill health
linked to risky behaviours in Lambeth including, sexual health and substance
misuse. Engagement of young people in health services, would promote
improved prevention and treatment.
5. Child and Adolescent Mental Health – Young people and their parent’s
satisfactions with CAMHS – ‘Value Added’ measure of the Strengths and
Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) - To maximise young people and their
parents satisfaction with CAMHS – to date significance focus on CAMHS has
been on ensuring the right processes/services are in place eg 24 hour
access. Patient satisfaction is being used nationally as a proxy measure for
outcomes rather than process. One of the key priorities identified in the
CAMHS strategy is to ensure that a systematic method of obtaining patient
feedback is developed in order to improve both the commissioning and the
provision of services.
6. Children with disabilities – National Survey, by Borough, of parents of
children with disabilities - To maximise young people and their parents
satisfaction with services for children with disabilities – There is anecdotal
evidence that the number of children with disabilities is increasing. A health
needs assessment is currently underway which will allow us to better under
stand the issue. Additional investment has already been made with LBL on
increased school nurse capacity in special schools, and the Aiming High
agenda will specifically increase provision of short breaks for children with
disabilities and their families.
