This At a glance briefing summarises the lessons learned from five local authority pilot sites and all five Northern Ireland and social care trusts who followed SCIE's guide 'Think child, think parent, think family' (2009, revised 2011) to meet the needs of parents with mental health problems and their families. The 'Think child, think parent, think family’ approach highlights the importance of whole-family working and the need for adult mental health and children's services to work together. The briefing summarises what the sites did, the strategic approaches taken; the ways in which the pilot sites involved parents and children; workforce development and training; and thinking about the family throughout the care pathway. The final sections summarise lessons about process and the factors that helped or hindered progress; lessons learned and improvements in practice; and the remaining challenges. These include improving the involvement of children, barriers to information sharing, and improving joint working.

The Bamford Taskforce was set up to take forward the recommendations of Bamford Review of Mental Health and Learning Disability. This is the 2nd annual report of the Bamford Taskforce and sets out the progress made during 2011. The key themes for the Taskforce and the associated workgroups, drawn from ‘Delivering the Bamford Vision (DHSSPS 2009)’ are: promoting positive health, wellbeing and early intervention; supporting people to live independent lives; supporting carers; providing better public services to meet people’s needs; and providing structures and a legislative base to deliver the Bamford Vision. Additionally in 2011 the Taskforce has paid increased attention to recovery approaches. The report discusses the key themes across the work undertaken and the achievements to date and also gives details on progress and challenges in each specific service area. The specific service areas are: Mental Health Services; Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services; Protect Life and Mental Health and Wellbeing Promotion; Learning Disability; Autistic Spectrum Disorder; and Substance Misuse. The report also contains the final Health and Social Care Board (HSCB) and Public Health Agency (PHA) return to the 2009-2011 Department of Health and Social Services and Public Safety (DHSSPS) Bamford Action Plan.

The Millennium Cohort Study (MCS) is a multi-disciplinary research project following the lives of around 19,000 children born in the UK in 2000/1. Four surveys of MCS cohort members have been carried out so far, the first of which was when the baby was aged 9 months. This report provides an overview of statistics, from MCS dataset 1 and other comparable data sources, about the attitudes, experiences and challenges faced by new parents in each of the 4 countries of the UK. It includes: parental attitudes to child rearing; maternal post-natal attachment; parental mental health; domestic abuse; parental alcohol consumption; and problems experienced by parents during the first few months. It also sheds some light on parental experiences of professional support.

The final evaluation report of the SCIE 'Think child, think parent, think family' project which aimed to help services to improve their responses to parents with mental health problems and their families. The report documents the progress made by the 10 sites involved, five in England and five in Northern Ireland, and makes recommendations for future activity. The report begins by providing background to the project and the methodology used. It then documents the learning from the sites, considering first what changes to practice have been made and how this has been achieved. Areas discussed are the strategic approaches to implementation, involving service users, workforce development, improving access to services, assessment, planning and reviewing care, and providing care. It then looks at lessons about the process of change and what has helped and hindered this. Recommendations for future work are also made. The project provided useful learning about how to implement the think family approach described in the SCIE (2009) guide. Over the course of the pilot practice sites were found to place and increasing emphasis on early intervention and prevention and progress on improving existing services and the way they work together.
