We have established a Community Single Point on Access (SPA) pathway for adults and older adults accessing mental health services across the five boroughs of Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Islington, and Haringey. This pathway will simplify and improve access to services, ensuring a more efficient, consistent, and user-friendly experience for referrers and individuals.

Why are we doing this?

• There is a national and North Central London (NCL) direction towards establishing services using the single point of access model.
• We have set up the "no-wrong-door" approach, because it makes it easier for referrers to access the right services for individuals without unnecessary delays.
• Currently, community mental health services handle over 2,000 referrals each month, mostly from GPs. The SPA will streamline processes and explore digital solutions to enhance efficiency.
• We have built on the success of the SPA developed for Children and Young People’s Services and learnt from best practices in other Trusts.

What does this mean for referers?

• A simplified referral process, ensuring that referrals are directed to the right service without unnecessary handovers.
• A more coordinated and efficient system, reducing administrative burdens and response times.
• Opportunities to provide input and feedback on the new approach, helping to shape how referrals are managed in the future.

New single referral form

We are committed to working collaboratively with referrers, service users, and staff to design and implement this new approach. We will be hosting engagement sessions and workshops to gather insights and ensure the system meets your needs.

Thank you for your support in shaping a more accessible and effective mental health referral system.

Barnet Assessment Service provides people with an initial assessment of their mental health needs. The Assessment Service is not a crisis service.

The aim is to provide service users with an initial assessment of their needs and refer them onto services which will then be able to meet those needs.

The Assessment Service is not a crisis service.

Barnet Community Rehabilitation Team provides community-based rehabilitation treatment and support for adults with moderate to severe mental health difficulties, with a primary diagnosis of psychosis, who live in supported or residential accommodation to support them with their mental health needs. We primarily work with clients living in residential or supported accommodation in the London Borough of Barnet but we also undertake social care reviews for clients placed by Barnet in other areas.

The team is multi-disciplinary and consists of professionals from a number of backgrounds including nursing, social work, psychiatry, psychology, occupational therapy, assessment and enablement officers, associate mental health workers and support workers. We also have social work and nursing students on placement with us and are supported by a dedicated admin team.

The care delivered is focused on rehabilitation and enablement. As such, much of our work is focused around working with you as an individual and also working closely with support staff at your residential or supported accommodation.
