One Adoption West Yorkshire (OAWY) and Leeds Community Healthcare Trust (LCHT) shall enter into a cooperation agreement with the objective to work co-operatively to provide an integrated clinical psychology service to some of the region’s most vulnerable young people.
As part of the cooperation agreement LCHT shall provide Clinical Psychologists who will be integrated within the OAWY team.
The cooperation agreement will provide structural integration within LCHT to ensure interfaces with LCHT services under contracts held by LCHT with NHS commissioners. These interfaces are underpinned by well-developed pathways, shared IT/information systems, shared infrastructure and consistent clinical supervision and continued professional development.
Structural and functional integration ensures a seamless service for OAWY accessing a range of health and social services.
