The field of child and adolescent mental health causes concern because of its implications for client groups and the disparity between demand and available resources not just for young people but for adults too. There are many questions in the minds of those charged with helping vulnerable children and their families: what is meant by mental health?; or should we be talking about mental illness instead?; what sorts of mental health problems do young people have?; what happens if they don’t get help?; how do non-specialists access advice and how can they help children waiting for specialist intervention?; what interventions are effective?; what do we know about outcomes and what are the prospects for children if they do not get appropriate help? This cassette gathers information, from both research and practice, about the state of current knowledge.

The direct work integral to making assessments of looked after children is usually complex and may well require referral to specialist services. Explores some key factors in facilitating such specialist assessments in the context of child and adolescent mental health services. Among issues highlighted are: the importance of understanding the context of the request for an assessment; the need for thorough and sensitive preparation before each session, including the presence of a supportive carer; and the need for continuity and consistency throughout the assessment process. A case example, taken from a wider study of siblings in foster care, is used to illustrate the discussion.
