The independent CAMHS Review was commissioned to look at how mainstream and universal settings are meeting the educational, care and support of children and young people at risk of and experiencing emerging emotional, behavioural, psychological and mental health problems.

The transition from child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) to an adult mental health service is necessary for young people whose mental health problems are likely to be both severe and enduring. A concern is that some young people fail to make the transition, usually for reasons of service design, configuration and ethos. This review of the literature on the CAMHS to adult transition aims is to collate and coordinate as much learning as possible and to be creative about ways of putting the learning into practice. The literature search used broad parameters, drawing in texts and information from a wide variety of sources. The report is separated into the following areas: the mental health of adolescents; the nature of transition; barriers to transition; and planning, delivering and improving services for adolescents and young adults. Each section ends with a summary of the key points identified from the literature.

Following the announcement of the Review of CAMHS (child and adolescent mental health services) in the Children's Plan in December 2007, Ed Balls and Alan Johnson invited Jo Davidson to lead this Review and Dr Bob Jezzard to act as Vice-Chair. The Review represented an excellent opportunity to look at how well services are meeting the educational, health and social needs of children and young people at risk of, and experiencing, mental health problems. It also represented a chance to make recommendations for future progress The remit of the Review was broad and challenging, as the terms of reference show. There was a strong early response, which emphasised that responsibility for psychological well-being and mental health is not confined to specialist child and adolescent mental health services. For the purposes of the Review, 'CAMHS' therefore includes all services that promote psychological well-being and mental health or which respond to and meet the mental health needs of all children and young people. This includes universal services, targeted services and specialist services. With the help of the Expert Group, the Review team set out to find out what progress has been made in recent years in delivering services. They also aimed to work out what can be done to address current challenges and deliver better outcomes for children and young people with mental health problems.
