Childhood sexual abuse (CSA) is associated with vulnerability to a range of mental and physical ill health. The origins of medically unexplained symptoms (MUS) in people sexually abused in childhood, and the relationship to their mental health, are disputed or uncertain, affecting patient care. There is a lack of appropriate therapeutic support for the CSA client group with MUS, highlighting significant needs of service users and professionals who work with them. A review is presented that aimed to identify current research and gaps in the research, in order to establish what is known, and to assess what further research is needed to understand these conditions and develop best-practice guidelines. The review had as its prime focus the implications, for adult survivors of abuse, of any linkages which studies revealed across medically unexplained symptoms, mental health and child sexual abuse.

A key focus of the review was to identify good practice in the light of the evidence. The main lessons learned from the review are highlighted and good practice case studies are presented.

Drawing on evidence from research and practice, this report sets out a case for prioritising the mental health needs of young children in care in Scotland who have experienced abuse or neglect. Statistics from Scotland are included throughout to support key points. The report presents evidence to show that children who experience maltreatment and grow up without positive and stable relationships are at greater risk of mental health problems and other poor outcomes throughout their lives. It looks at the lack of stable relationships for children in care due to unstable placements; the need for specialist support for foster carers; the need for services to support vulnerable birth parents to care for their children; and the need for more services to identify and look after the mental health of babies and infants. Finally the report presents evidence to show the benefits of investing early to provide the right support for children, their parents and carers, highlighting the savings and long term benefits to society as a whole. The report forms part of the NSPCC case for change, which, by highlighting the fundamental importance of looking after infant mental health, aims to build awareness and understanding, and to create change for the better.

The report reviews six key studies published since 1999 that give a holistic overview of disabled children’s lives from their perspectives. It also reviews information on relevant research conducted by 31 voluntary organisations and 15 academic researchers. It analyses these key policy areas and related research: welfare benefits reform; Getting It Right for Every Child (GIRFEC); the National Review of Services for Disabled Children in Scotland; education; self-directed support; short breaks; and transition to adulthood. Options for action by the Commissioner are suggested. (Edited publisher abstract)

The aim of this research was to review the evidence from the research literature on service provision for people with multiple and complex needs. Five key objectives of the literature review were: to examine definitions of ‘multiple and complex needs’ and to identify client groups who are identified as having these needs; to explore people’s awareness of services and options; to explore factors affecting access to services; to examine service users’ experiences; and to identify best practice in service provision and lessons for implementation. Before conducting literature searches 15 key informants were consulted, and, during the project, a focus group was conducted with research and policy staff within the Scottish Executive in March 2006.
