This report is the first in a series of updates from the Think Family Pathfinders Evaluation. This update provides: background information on Family Pathfinders’ Programme; an overview of families the Pathfinders are working with, their needs and levels of risk; the models of delivery that have been adopted and common approaches to delivery; examples of the new ways of working with families at risk of poor outcomes; emerging evidence of impact. Children experiencing very poor outcomes often come from families who face multiple and complex problems, such as poverty, domestic abuse, poor mental health or substance misuse. Co-ordinated, multiagency interventions can be a cost-effective way of improving outcomes for both the children and adults within these families, whilst reducing the burdens they may place on a number of local services and, potentially, the care system. The emerging findings of this programme provide practical examples of how local authorities from across the country are restructuring service provision and developing new working practices in response to the challenges of improving outcomes for these families.

The independent CAMHS Review, published in November 2008, has looked at how child and adolescent mental health services are meeting the needs of children with mental health problems, to ensure that they are delivered in a more integrated way. It has considered how we can deliver better outcomes for children and identified practical solutions to how those delivering, managing and commissioning services can address the challenges they face. This is the full Government response to the final report of the independent CAMHS Review, setting out progress to date and plans for the future of children and young people’s mental health. The response also gives examples of the outcomes expected from a good service as an aid for commissioners, providers and practitioners.
