Outlines the findings from qualitative thematic analysis of area evidence summaries from fieldwork undertaken in 10 health and wellbeing board areas to support phase two of the thematic review on children and young people’s mental health, carried out by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). The analysis pulls out themes from across the areas visited and provides some examples of both good and less good practice, as well as the views of children and young people and their families. The findings cover the areas of: governance, leadership and strategic oversight; workforce capacity; local mental health systems; access to care and information; and quality of care.

This document outlines the experience of barriers to good end of life care for people with a mental health condition. The report is one of a suite of documents reporting on the Care Quality Commission end of life care thematic review, and is designed to be read in conjunction with the other documents. People with serious mental illnesses (excluding dementia) die on average 20 years earlier than the rest of the population. They may be identified as approaching the end of life late, which can affect the ability to plan care that meets people’s individual needs. The review found limited information about end of life care for people with a mental health condition and suggests that the end of life care needs for this group may not being prioritised. Some people spoke about a lack of awareness of physical health needs among professionals caring for a person with a mental health condition, which led to delayed diagnosis of the person’s terminal condition. In some cases, where a person’s mental health condition was severe, there was no access to an appropriate service to care for them at the end of life, so they ended up dying in hospital. The document recommends that commissioners and providers support early identification of people with a mental health condition who may be approaching the end of life, as part of improved physical health care.

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.
