What the notice says

For the provision of a Children and Young Peoples' Mental Health Service (CYPMHS) Early Help Eating Disorder Service. The Early Help Eating Disorder Service provides NICE‑recommended, evidence‑based and evidence‑informed interventions for children and young people (CYP) aged 5-18 who are suspected to have, or be developing, eating difficulties or eating disorders, including related concerns. The service offers timely early intervention to prevent deterioration, promote recovery and resilience, and reduce the need for referral to specialist eating disorder services. Delivered as a community‑based early help offer, the service responds flexibly to the evolving needs of CYP and their families. It adopts an innovative, holistic and person‑centred approach, ensuring that CYP and families are actively involved in decision‑making throughout their care. Accessibility and partnership working are central to the model, supporting positive outcomes through tailored, evidence‑based support.
