Safeguarding in CAMHS is critial. Services across the country we have seen an increased trajectory in relation to safeguarding practice this is not only evident in our own service but system wide. Case acuity continues to be high and complex with increasing numbers of cases requiring multiple professional network meetings.
Safeguarding in a busy county wide CAMHS service is complex and needs experienced safeguarding leads to work with CAMHS clinicians to keep children and young people safe and respond to critical incidents and safeguarding reviews.

About the session
Safeguarding within CAMHS can be a challenge due to multiple human and organisational factors which will be explored in the Super Charged Safeguarding Masterclass. This will include looking at safeguarding provision within each tier of CAMHS and use practical examples to highlight the challenges faced in contemporary safeguarding for CYP in each individual setting. We will explore how the ethos of keeping the Voice of the Child at the centre of care whilst using a safeguarding ‘family approach’ which underpins the delivery of safe and robust service provision within CAMHs. The safeguarding team uses an objective safeguarding lens to support the clinical workforce with identifying and responding to current and future safeguarding needs for CAMHS service users.
This session will outline the roles that named nurses and doctors undertake, how they support the CAMHS clinicians, will explore the range of issues that they become involved in on a daily basis and how they deliver robust and bespoke level 3 training to staff who work with risk. This will be an informative morning that will support CAMHS services in considering the expertise required, the range of roles safeguarding leads undertake and will provide case studies that bring alive the complexities our mental health colleagues grapple with every day.
Who should attend
CAMHS clinicians, managers, strategic leaders and staff who work in the safeguarding field in CAMHS.

Dr. Chrissy Boardman – Thinking about how to get the best out of Working Together
The recurrent recommendations from serious incidents are often around poor communication between services, lack of curiosity and lack of ownership. Although Working Together Statutory Guidance expects increasing cooperation, the demands on a service often leads to more silo working. How do we find a way through this conundrum? I will include some updates from the Pathfinder programme in Dorset.
Learning outcomes
- Better understanding of the building blocks to multiagency working
- Better understanding about when it is necessary to work with a proactive multiagency mindset, versus the need to be boundaried in a camhs role.

About the speakers
Julie Yalden – I started my career as a registered general nurse. I completed a diploma in midwifery and worked for 10 years as a midwife in a variety of settings before undertaking a BSC in Public health. As a health visitor my interest in safeguarding practice developed which led to the facilitation of multi-agency training for both safeguarding children and domestic abuse. The last 16 years have been spent in safeguarding roles in a variety of settings. Eight years ago I joined Hampshire CAMHS as the Named nurse for safeguarding and what a journey it has been! I am passionate about hearing the child’s voice and lived experience. As a team we believe a fundamental part of our role is the development of staff to feel confident, supported and effective in their safeguarding responsibilities.
Ollie Donellan Reid – I am a Registered Mental Health Nurse and worked clinically across all the CAMHS tiers in various roles before completing the post graduate public health nursing qualification. I then worked as a School Nurse in Southeast Hampshire in an area of high deprivation and health inequality supporting children and families through the Government’s Healthy Child Programme. Due to the deprivation, there was a higher rate of children open to Children’s Social Care and a requirement for me to become involved in Child Protection processes including complex cases of multi systemic abuse. I later moved into full time Safeguarding including roles in the Hampshire Multi Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) and an acute setting (Stoke Mandeville Hospital, Bucks) before returning to HIOW Trust where I currently support the Tier 4 CAMHS units with their Safeguarding practice as well as the other core functions of the Trust’s Clinical Safeguarding Support Team.
Emily Zealley – I qualified in London as a paediatric nurse in 1999 and have taken a special interest in safeguarding children ever since. I have been fortunate to live and work in London, Australia and Hampshire nursing mentally and physically sick children in paediatric acute, emergency, specialist diabetes team, intensive care, community children nursing, special school nursing and palliative care teams. Throughout my career, I have interwoven my passion and belief in placing the child in the middle of family centred care into safeguarding children both within their family sphere and contextually outside of the home. In 2018, my safeguarding career formally began when I joined a large NHST trust acute safeguarding team and within their regional health assessment child sexual abuse unit. In 2022 I moved to my most challenging role yet within Hampshire CAMHS safeguarding team, based in the Early Help service, and supporting CAMHS teams throughout Hampshire. Our safeguarding team takes a dynamic approach to support staff in the complex area of safeguarding children with mental and emotional health difficulties.
Chrissy Boardman – Having worked for years in camhs in Dorset as an associate specialist, I developed an interest in safeguarding and being part of the multiagency system. I have now retired from clinical work. My heart is with those young people who are hard to engage, but also with how to practically work in the multiagency arena from a camhs perspective. I have been the named doctor for safeguarding for 6 years for Dorset Healthcare. I am also the Designated Person for Safeguarding for a church and Safeguarding Trustee for an international charity working in some parts of the world with very different cultures.
