Abstract: Objectives: The aim of the paper was to describe referrals to a UK school‐based mental health service for children and adolescents. Methods: Children and young people (CYP) (N = 485, aged 4–18) were referred to two Mental Health Support Team sites in the South of England in 2021, for CBT‐informed interventions for mild‐to‐moderate anxiety and depression. Child and parent reported outcome measures were completed pre‐intervention, including measures of symptom severity and impact. Results: Referrals consisted of 61% female, 57% secondary school age (12–18 years old) and 81% White British. Children of secondary school age self‐reported significantly higher levels of anxiety (p =.003) and depression (p <.001) than children of primary age. Females self‐reported significantly higher levels of anxiety (p <.001) and depression (p <.001) than males. The majority of CYP self‐reported below or borderline threshold anxiety, depression and overall internalizing symptoms. The majority of caregiver‐reported CYP difficulties met the clinical threshold for anxiety and overall internalizing symptoms, but not depression. Conclusions: The findings have direct relevance to the transformation and delivery of school‐based public mental health services for children and adolescents. There is a need to collect routine data from other services to assess the broader needs of CYP referred for low intensity early interventions across regions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
