• What they offer

  This is an NHS Foundation Trust providing specialist children's healthcare rather than an activity club, including inpatient beds, intensive care, an Emergency Department and outpatient clinics at Sheffield Children's Hospital. Other sites offer mental health and learning disability services (Becton Centre: intensive outreach, day and inpatient services), primary mental health, community CAMHS, community paediatrics and the Looked After and Adopted Children's Health Care Team (Centenary House), specialist neurology and neurodisability clinics plus a respite centre (Ryegate Children's Centre), and outpatient appointments at The Spark. Community CAMHS teams offer emotional support, advice and signposting, with 24/7 helplines on 111 or 0800 068 4141.

• Ages served

  The page says the Trust is there for every child and young person across Sheffield, South Yorkshire and beyond; the Becton Centre is stated to serve children and young adults aged up to 18. No minimum age is stated.

• SEN support & staffing

  The Trust states it employs more than 3,000 staff and strives to recruit and retain the best doctors, nurses, allied health workers and other staff. The page does not describe specific SEN or autism-specific staffing arrangements, though it mentions a special MRI scanner for teddies so children can see what a scan is like beforehand.
