<p>Some young people need ongoing support into young adulthood, after they leave children
and young people’s mental health services. This point of transition is an important
stage for young people, and it is not always easy. In January 2015, NHS England published
a Model Specification for Transitions from Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services,
to support better transition planning and delivery by local providers. Transition
from children and young people’s mental health services has also been included as
one of 13 mandatory national indicators in the Commissioning for Quality and Innovation
scheme (2017/19), which offers financial incentives to local areas to encourage improved
transition planning for children and young people. To address issues of transition,
some areas have already also adopted a mental health service which supports young
people from ages 0-25.</p>
