CAMHS Children Looked After and Adoption Team

We work with children and young people up to 18 years old who are looked after and living away from their birth parents, in the care of Nottinghamshire Children's Services. They may be living with foster carers or in residential care.

We will also offer specialist consultation and support to children and young people who have been adopted and their families.
 

Support groups

Nottinghamshire County Council adoption and fostering support.

Service opening hours

9am-5pm.

Accessing our service

Adoptive families who are not currently receiving social worker support can contact their GP or community paediatrician to refer to the team. The family will then get a letter and consultation request form to complete and are asked to contact the administration team to arrange an appointment. Parking and disabled access are available at our site.

Adoptive families and young people can also self-refer for CAMHS support using our online form or by calling 0115 854 2299.

Help in a crisis

To access support for a child or young person following an episode of self harm, the young person will need to attend their local hospital Accident and Emergency Department to be assessed by the on call team. A follow up appointment will be offered by CAMHS Children Looked After Team based on the assessment of the on call team.
