Invitation to feedback on CYP MH Training Programmes

We are writing to invite you to complete a new survey for employers and service providers on Children and Young People’s Mental Health (CYP MH) training programmes. NHS England is planning to reprocure all CYP MH training programmes, and we are seeking your insight to help shape this work.

This survey aims to gather practical feedback from services currently accessing these programmes and/or supporting trainees. Your responses will directly inform the design of future specifications and delivery models, ensuring they meet service needs and support the workforce effectively.

👉 You can access the survey on the find a tender service portal here: https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/024208-2026 

👉Or access use the Microsoft form directly here: CYPMH Training Programmes Request for Information - Employers and Services – Fill in form

The reprocurement covers the following CYP MH training programmes: 

• Education Mental Health Practitioner (EMHP) + Supervision 
• Children’s Wellbeing Practitioner (CWP) + Supervision 
• Senior Wellbeing Practitioner (SWP) 
• All Children and Young People’s Psychological Training Programmes (previously CYP IAPT) + Supervision 
• Mental Health Leadership Training

We have also recently launched a separate Request for Information (RFI) for training providers. You can find more information about that here: https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/019208-2026

How you can help

We would be grateful if you could share the survey link widely across your networks, forums and platforms where it may reach colleagues with relevant experience and insight. In particular, we welcome responses from current employers, CYPMH service providers, MHST leads, and learning and development leads.

Deadline

Please submit your response by 6pm on Friday 10^th April.

Thank you in advance for your time and contributions. Your engagement is vital in helping us design future training provision that strengthens the CYP MH workforce and supports the delivery of high‑quality care for children, young people, and families.
