Riverscross: a soap opera

Abstract

As part of their provision for children and adolescents, South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust (SLaM) provides acute and elective inpatient and day patient care for young people aged between 12 and 18 years at the Snowsfields Unit at Guy's Hospital. An important aspect of the unit's work consists of supporting young people to continue their engagement with education, and a curriculum is provided by the Bethlem and Maudsley School that focuses on positive re‐engagement with self, others and, by extension, with mainstream education. There is a strong cross‐curricular emphasis on personal, social, health, emotional literacy and creative education, alongside the consolidation of basic skills for living (literacy, numeracy, ICT and life skills).
