Explanation:
In Liverpool Place YPAS are part of the Liverpool CAMHS Partnership which works collaboratively as part of a Memorandum of Agreement within all contracts. This has strengthened the collaborative approach ensuring specific requirements are shared including workforce, estates, information sharing, communication and partnerships.
