Reports on recent research to examine the views of professionals working in social services, education and health on the provision for children and young people who present in a emergency with acute mental health problems. The findings reveal not only a shortage of beds, but a widespread perception of serious mis-match between what many young people need and the kinds of services that are currently available.

Report of a multidisciplinary study looking at emergency admissions of children and young people with severe mental health problems. The study draws on data from Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) across England and Wales. A number of issues emerged, including: greatly increased referral rates, including increasing numbers of emergencies; increased pressure on all community services as a result of staffing shortages; and interagency confusion and frustration about children with conduct disorders and challenging behaviour and about what role CAMHS services should play in helping these young people.
