Keyworking for children and young people with a learning disability, and autistic children and young people

This course has been developed to support NHS England to implement keyworking services for children and young people with a learning disability and autistic children and young people.

Keyworking services will support children and young people who are at risk of admission, or have been admitted to a mental health hospital, and their families. This programme has been developed to support keyworking teams across the country to understand the fundamentals that underpin keyworking and provide a consistent approach.

The resource will help keyworkers chart the most beneficial path for their work with children, young people and families. As the journey of keyworking develops, new knowledge and learning will shape future iterations of this elearning for keyworkers.

It is mandatory for all appointed keyworkers to complete this elearning as part of their induction in addition to participating in local and national skills-based training programmes.

To receive a certificate, learners will need to complete all of the sessions within the programme.
