children and young people to give them foundation level knowledge about BESD.

• The IDP is about improving Quality First Teaching (QFT) and other provision to include children and young people with BESD.

• The IDP is about demystifying child and adolescent mental health so that every professional can understand their role in supporting children and young people with BESD.
