The Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Assessment Schedule (ChA-PAS) Interview is for the assessment of mental health problems in children and adolescents with learning disabilities. It has been developed from the adult PAS-ADD system, which has become widely used within adult services. The ChA-PAS Interview aims to improve the quality of reports from those with the deepest knowledge of the child or adolescent, including family members, support staff and care staff. Skilled clinicians may also include responses from the child or adolescent where appropriate. Designed to improve the evidence base for child and adolescent psychiatric assessment, this unique resource aids the process of skilled diagnosis and formulation. Scores on the interview score forms are summarised in a way to help this process. The handbook and clinical interview is mapped closely to existing psychiatric practice and includes guidance on thresholds for diagnosis and specific requirements of both ICD 10 and DSM-IV-TR classification systems.

- Author:
- HARRIS Kevin
- Journal article citation:

- Publisher:

This article argues that social networks are crucial to addressing the perceived shortfall in 'respect' and civility. Using the findings from focus groups and workshops, meanings of 'respect' are explored and older people's narratives of the decline in neighbourliness are used to explore the sense that for many people 'community' has been lost. It is argued that policy and practice have a role to play in the reinvigoration of local social networks.
