Popis: Glasgow Psychological Service (GPS), as part of Glasgow Education Services, has redesigned both its service delivery model and the content of that delivery over the past eight years. With reference to the latter, the values that underpin the framework from which the Service works can be noted as being attachment and strengths based, in particular drawing on the concepts of resilience and actively avoiding the inappropriate labelling of children and young people. Importantly Glasgow Education Services has embraced the GIRFEC agenda (Getting it Right for Every Child – Children and Young People (Scotland) Act, 2014) and the legislative drive to work closely and effectively with our partner agencies in Social Work and Health. In this paper, consideration is given both to the nature of that multi-agency working as well as how a Psychological Service delivers a coherent approach which aspires to the principles of nurture to support the mental health of young people, and what that approach looks like in its applied format.
