The coroner’s concerns
1) Poor communication and engagement between the agencies involved with Ollie including her school, CAMHS and targeted early help. 2) A lack of communication and engagement between targeted early help and CAMHS despite both agencies being aware that the other was involved. This led to a confusing picture and a missed opportunity for Ollie to remain open to CAMHS and receive psycho social intervention and continued support from CAMHS. 3) There was no record of important discussions that occurred between early help and the school and Ollie’s preference in relation to pronouns was not acted upon. 10.
