WWCSC alongside the National Institute for Health Research’s (NIHR) health service and delivery research programme is inviting applications from new and existing programmes to receive funding to roll-out and evaluate “promising interventions”.

WWCSC and NIHR are keen to encourage sector professionals, including those in local authority children’s social care teams, child and adolescent mental health services, other multi-agency partners or third sector providers and researchers to submit joint applications. 

The partnership will consider funding applications with a focus on children and young people with mental health conditions that currently have, or previously have had, a social worker.
