Our story
About CAMS services
CAMS services is a UK provider of chaperone transport, youth mentoring, SEND support, and family coaching for children and young people. For more than ten years we have supported over five hundred families with trauma-informed mentoring, chaperone transport, and structured intervention packages.
Our model is trust-first: young people need predictable adults, clear boundaries, and strengths-based feedback before harder goals feel achievable. We align with schools, social workers, and carers so messaging stays consistent across home and education.
CAMS services recruits practitioners against rigorous safeguarding standards, provides ongoing supervision, and documents outcomes for referrers who need audit-ready evidence. We believe every child deserves safe transport, respectful mentoring, and support that meets SEND and SEMH needs without stigma.
Our journey
Our story
CAMS exists so every young person can feel seen, supported, and able to move forward. We pair structured mentoring with boxing, fitness, routines, and community activity, because engagement often starts through doing, not just talking.
Built on real relationships
CAMS was founded on a simple belief: every young person deserves the chance to thrive. We began in schools and neighbourhoods, learning that when adults show up consistently, and use activity as a bridge, young people often re-engage with education, peer groups, and their own goals.
From those early partnerships, CAMS grew into a full mentoring organisation supporting hundreds of families across the UK, with transparent routes for referral and a menu of services schools can align to their cohorts.
