This paper presents the findings of the project evaluation.

Describes how existing agency records, together with questionnaires completed by social services referrers and mental health providers, were used to identify problems in current arrangements for obtaining specialist mental health assessments in child protection cases. Standards were set and implemented through a multi-agency steering group. The practice of the referrers was then reaudited. Finds that some shared views of problems, additional support funding and audit process appear to have helped inter-agency collaboration and develop more efficient referral and care arrangements. Concludes that there is a need to maintain and further develop this work, and audit would again be a useful means.
