ICTAs were introduced in three early adopter sites from 30 January 2017 and are due to continue up to 31 January 2019.
This report presents interim findings at the halfway point of the assessment. In the first year, 215 children were referred into the service, most were aged 16 or 17 and the most common nationality of children referred was British, followed by Vietnamese. Interim findings provide early insights into how ICTAs’ work varied between different groups of children.
