Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) support
Lambeth Council is implementing a three-year plan to strengthen Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) support for young people.
Lambeth Council is implementing a three-year SEND Reform Plan to strengthen Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) support and early intervention for children and young people. This plan, which aims to create a more inclusive system for young people aged 0-25, was discussed in September 2026 at a Children's Services Scrutiny Sub-Committee meeting.
The reform plan focuses on three key workstreams, including the Experts at Hand locality model and the expansion of SEND Inclusion Bases in mainstream schools. These initiatives are part of the council's strategy to enhance support services for the social, emotional, and mental well-being of young people.
No further meetings or specific next steps regarding SEMH support are currently scheduled. The three-year plan by Lambeth Council will continue to be implemented, focusing on improving provisions for children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities.
