This report pulls together findings from engagement activities that took place as part of phase two of the children and young people’s mental health thematic review, carried out by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). Through the engagement activities, the CQC spoke to young people aged 12 to 25 who had accessed a range of mental health services. The report identifies common and emerging themes across the following areas: the referral process; waiting times; staff involved in young people’s care; stereotypes and stigma; communication; person-centred services; transition to adult services; and safety. The report is intended to inform the overall phase two report for the review and can be considered alongside the engagement report for phase one of the review. These engagement activities are additional to the engagement work included in the fieldwork for the review. (Edited publisher abstract)

This review looks at the challenges facing children and young people’s mental health services and was carried out to support the Care Quality Commission’s ‘Review of children and young people's mental health services: Phase one report’. It examines national policy and guidance, reviews, and publications by think tanks and non-statutory agencies. It draws largely on documents published since 2014. The review focuses on the role different agencies in the system; how well the system is working, in terms of quality, access and experience; and the gaps, barriers and enablers to change. The results found consensus that improvements in the promotion of mental health and the prevention, early identification, support, care and treatment of mental ill-health in children and young people should be a national priority. The review identifies a number of practical challenges and obstacles, including: funding pressure at a time of increasing demand (across social care, health and education) and geographical variation in the range of provision and accessible, high-quality services. Issues that need to be addressed included: the develop strong leadership; establish clearer pathways and transition between services; clarity of roles and responsibilities; workforce development; focus on prevention and high-quality early intervention; improve the quality of data; increase participation; implement evidence based treatment with measurable outcomes; and ensure effective funding, accountability and commissioning arrangements.

This report, the first phase of a Care Quality Commission review, summarises the current knowledge on the quality and accessibility of mental health services for children and young people. It looks at where services need to improve, identifies barriers to high-quality care and identifies factors that contribute to good and outstanding practice. It draws existing research and evidence, the findings from CQC inspection reports child and adolescent mental health services, and the people with expert knowledge of children and young people’s mental health services, including children and young people themselves. The report identifies a barriers to good quality care: a system that is complex and fragmented, with a need for more joint working; increasing demand; staff with insufficient skills or capacity to identify mental health problems; and concerns over the safety of services. The report also identifies how some child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) services are providing good and outstanding care through: involving children, young people and their families; collaborating within services and also between different organisations and services; using creative and innovative ways to provide person-centred care; improving access to services; and training for staff, children and families. The next phase of the review will visit ten sites explore what local areas are doing to overcome the barriers and enablers to improving quality and access in children’s mental health services.
