Leeds City Council (LCC) and Leeds Community Healthcare Trust (LCHT) shall enter into a cooperation agreement with the objective to work co-operatively to provide an integrated Therapeutic Social Work Service (TSWS) to some of the city’s most vulnerable young people.
As part of the cooperation agreement LCH shall provide Clinical Psychologists and a Speech & Language therapy who will be integrated within LCC’s TSWT.
The cooperation agreement will provide structural integration within LCH to ensure interfaces with LCH services under contracts held by LCH with NHS commissioners. These interfaces are underpinned by well-developed pathways, shared information systems, shared infrastructure and consistent clinical supervision and continued professional development. Structural and functional integration ensures a seamless service for C&F accessing a range of health and social services.
