What we have done so far:

• You and your parent carers have worked with the Council and the CCG to design the children’s and young people mental health service in Solihull. The CCG and Council both pay for Solar so we can work together to keep improving support;
• Built on our work with schools and families to include how we work with independent schools so you can have a good experience of learning, wherever you do that;
• Developed our Local Offer for support and services available to you. Looked at who plans and pays for this between the Council and the CCG so we can find better ways of joining up and seeing gaps. For example, supporting young people with learning difficulties and autism through our Key Worker Pilot;
• Worked with your parent carers and therapy services to write our Cross Border Principles so you can get support more easily and quickly. With less confusion whether you live, or go to school, in Solihull or Birmingham. We will be asking you, and your parent carers, if this has made a difference so we can look at other changes we could make.

What else you want us to do:

• Agree what we want to do with families and how we will work together in the future (with the new Integrated Care Board) to change things for you across Solihull and the area you live in. We will help other people supporting you to know how to get the help you need;
• Look at how we can do more joined up work between the Council and CCG to give you better support. Learning from what has worked well in the past or where we have seen problems;
• Look at how we can better plan and pay for support for you if you need help from education, social care and health at the same time.
