## Notice

To provide an equitable education psychology service for the pupils of all schools and educational settings in Kirklees, utilising a whole school approach including supporting professionals to know when and how to make a referral into the MHST service. To: * Facilitate completion of the Self Evaluation (SEF) tool with schools on their whole school approach to social, emotional and mental health. * Agree areas of development with schools in response to the outcome of the SEF, supporting schools to develop their whole school approach. * Develop and deliver training offers in response to needs identified in the SEF.

### Procurement Information

The incumbent provider has already seamlessly integrated the SEMH Self-Evaluation (SEF) tool into local practice, establishing a level of institutional knowledge and trust that a new entrant would struggle to replicate without significant disruption. Their existing command of the MHST referral pathways ensures that school professionals receive consistent, expert guidance, preventing a bottleneck in vital service access. By maintaining this partnership we maintain a provider who is already actively translating SEF outcomes into bespoke training and development plans, ensuring that the whole-school approach remains a lived reality rather than a theoretical goal. Ultimately, this continuation prioritises service stability and the proven expertise required to meet the complex social and emotional needs of the local school population.
