Findings from a joint inspection about the effectiveness of partnership working and of the work of individual agencies responding to children’s mental health in Plymouth. The inspection was undertaken by HMI Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services, Ofsted, the Care Quality Commission and HMI Probation. The report sets out the key strengths of partnership working and identifies areas for improvements. The findings show that partnership working is integral to Plymouth’s approach to improving services for children and ell-established strategic planning and commissioning help to focus on improving services and meet the emotional and mental health needs of children. The Plymouth trauma-informed practice approach is starting to be visible in practice across the partnership. However, the report suggests that quality assurance by the Plymouth and Torbay safeguarding children partnership is underdeveloped – this means that the partnership does not have the benefit of a robust analysis of the impact of statutory training and multi-agency audits. In addition, the governance arrangements for the youth offending team (YOT) are weak and require urgent attention. The emotional well-being and mental health needs of children accessing the YOT are not yet fully known or understood, and the partnership cannot be confident that they are being met.

Outlines the findings from one of a series of joint targeted area inspections to investigate the effectiveness of partnership working and of the work of individual agencies in responding to children living with mental ill health in Sefton. The inspection included an evaluation of the multi-agency ‘front door’, which receives referrals when children may be in need or at risk of significant harm. The report outlines both strengths and areas for improvement. It found there was: ineffective partnership working at both strategic and operational levels; poor information-sharing about children’s needs; and that children are unable to access support from the child and adolescent mental health service (CAMHS) quickly enough. Due to weaknesses in partnership working, the report outlines areas for priority action. (Edited publisher abstract)

Guidance for inspectors carrying out joint area inspections to evaluate children and young people’s experiences living with mental ill health, with a focus on children aged 10 to 15 years old in England.

The inspection will cover 'front door' services and evaluate agencies' responses to all forms of abuse, neglect and exploitation as well as evaluating responses to children living with mental ill health. It will include a deep dive focus on children subject to child in need and child protection plans and those children who are in care who are living with mental ill health. The joint inspections will begin in September 2019. (Edited publisher abstract)

A baseline review of adult mental health services in Wales, published in October 2005 by the Wales Audit Office, identified a number of issues in relation to the provision of housing for people with a mental health problem which needed to be addressed. This report examines whether the planning and delivery of housing services for adults with mental health needs has improved since the baseline review. Specifically, the report looks at: the progress that has been made in delivering the housing targets set out in Raising the Standard, the revised Adult Mental Health National Service Framework; whether the weaknesses identified by the 2005 baseline review in respect of assessing needs and joint planning between health, social care and housing authorities has improved; and how far housing services for people with mental health needs have improved on the ground. This report found that poor progress has been made in delivering the Assembly Government’s targets, strategic planning remains of poor quality, and joint planning between local health, social care and housing service providers was not always effective. The Assembly Government’s monitoring against the delivery of its housing targets has also been ineffective. Recommendations are provided.
