Children's rights and wellbeing assessment (CRWIA) providing an update on the evidence of the impact of COVID-19 restrictions and the wider pandemic on babies, children and young people. A range of different studies have explored with children and young people what they see as the impact of COVID-19 and related mitigations on their lives. In drawing together the evidence we have focused on the views of children and young people themselves where possible, but evidence from parents is included where relevant (especially for young children). Overall, the evidence strongly suggests the need for more targeted messaging, information and recovery planning focused on the needs of specific groups of children and families, with an emphasis on mental wellbeing and trauma-informed approaches in schools in particular. The findings also highlight the importance of keeping schools open ensuring that children and young people continue to access their right to education; maintaining social interaction and engagement with their peers; ensuring access to services and activities that continue to promote their wider wellbeing.

A Government call for evidence to gather people's views, knowledge and experience of peer support programmes for children and young people’s mental wellbeing. Peer support includes a variety of different models, from helping a friend discuss issues, befriending schemes, and formal group support sessions within supportive environment. The call for evidence seeks information what works in peer support for children and young people’s mental wellbeing; the approaches that are currently available; and evidence that can be applied to develop and improve services in the future. Consultation questions also cover types of support, training and accreditation that are beneficial for peer supporters, the use of online peer support, and linking peer support with specialist mental health services. Evidence can be submitted through an online survey. The call for evidence closes on Thursday 24 March 2016. A separate call has also been launched to gather the views of young people.

This guidance concerns children and young people aged 10 to 17 years who may have mental health problems, and who offend or who are at risk of offending. It seeks to inform planners and other key stakeholders responsible for children and young people, principally within local health boards, Welsh police forces and local authorities. It aims to support improvements in mental health provision for this vulnerable and often marginalised group of children and young people by: engaging children and young people in mainstream services through access to high quality prevention, treatment and support; ensuring all services work in a holistic, multi-agency partnership and are accountable for meeting the needs of children and young people; diverting children and young people away from the youth justice system and into services which are accountable for and able to meet their needs; ensuring that the values, attitudes, knowledge and skills of practitioners enable young people to stop offending and lead crime-free lives; and helping children and young people make a seamless transition between a youth justice sentence and an independent, crime-free life. This guidance sets out the key principles of how and where intervention is likely to have the greatest impact, by making recommendations in how best to improve service delivery responses and in how this activity should be governed.

Disabled children have broadly the same aspirations as non-disabled children and the outcomes they would like to achieve are therefore similar. However, for many disabled children and young people, there are fundamental outcomes that need to be achieved as a foundation for others, including and especially, communication. This project focused on better understanding ‘outcome models’ for all children and young people and for children and young people in the diverse and challenging context of disability. This research was commissioned by the Scottish Government’s Children’s Rights and Wellbeing Division to identify and develop an outcomes model based on Getting It Right for Every Child (GIRFEC), and the SHANARRI indicators of wellbeing (“Safe, Healthy, Achieving, Nurtured, Active, Respected, Responsible, Included”) for disabled children and young people in Scotland. It was to include both children with disabilities as defined by the Equality Act 2010 and those defined as having additional support needs in the context of the Education (Additional Support for Learning) (Scotland) Act 2004. The project was modified early on to focus on mapping outcomes work that is already in progress, and to identify the essential components of outcomes models. (Edited publisher abstract)

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.
