This research aimed to review and present evidence that could inform the practice guidelines, to identify gaps in knowledge, and to evaluate the strength of the existing evidence, both in general and specifically in relation to marginalised families and those from black and minority ethnic communities. Two separate questions were addressed by the review reported here and reviewed separately: what is known about the incidence, prevalence, and types of parental mental health problems in the UK?; and what systems, tools and opportunities exist in children's services, adults' services and family services for detecting parental mental health problems, in both the UK and elsewhere? How these are used, by whom and in which contexts? This appendix to the report contains details of the databases used, the search criteria, and literature used for the review.

This summary provides guidance based on three research reviews. The reviews set out to answer what works to improve: the safety, health and wellbeing of children through improving the physical and mental health of mothers, fathers and carers, children’s outcomes by supporting parental and carer couple relationships and reducing conflict within families, including domestic violence, and children’s and young people’s outcomes through support for mothers, fathers and carers.
Mental health knowledge gaps in the child protection work with parents: a narrative review of the social work literature

This is a narrative review of the latest peer-reviewed social work literature on the child protection work with parents. Aiming to identify knowledge gaps, the study researches the mental health aspects of the implicit or explicit theoretical perspectives underpinning the assessment and intervention with parents. An electronic database search extracted 38 peer-reviewed journal articles. It was found that the theoretical perspectives the publications adopted were the managerial, the critical, the humanistic, the psychodynamic and the behavioural. The study identified mental health knowledge gaps in the assessment and intervention work with parents across all theoretical perspectives and stressed the need for process and effectiveness studies on the work with parents, under explicit theoretical perspectives. The study finally highlights the need for the social work profession to increase its mental health literacy through mental health education for students and practitioners alike. (Publisher abstract)

This review provides a summary of the reported prevalence of parent mental illness, parent substance misuse and domestic violence in different cohorts (i.e. the overall population; families subject to child protection procedures or care proceedings; and serious case reviews). It sets out the context for thinking about changes in social work and whole system practice with reference to these ‘toxic trio’ and ‘toxic duo’ families commonly presenting to children’s social care services and outlines the findings from research to date about the impact of and ‘what works’ in relation to each of these elements in isolation as well as collectively.

Purpose: Untreated parent mental health problems have deleterious effects upon the family, yet caregivers are unlikely to receive services for their emotional health. This review examined treatments and services for children and adolescents that also offered services to parents. Methods: Child treatment and service studies were included in the present study if they analysed parent symptoms or diagnoses over time, and the intervention contained a parent component. Results: Of 200 studies reviewed, 20 contained a component for the parent and assessed the parent’s emotional health at multiple time points. Depression and anxiety were the most commonly studied parental mental health problem; most parent components consisted of behavioural strategies in service of the child’s psychological health. Conclusion: Major shifts in health care policy affecting mental health services provide an opportunity to create integrated and coordinated health and behavioural health systems. Attention must be given to ensure that the workforce of providers, the administrative structures, and the reimbursement strategies are strengthened and connected to serve the needs of parents/caregivers and children in order to enhance family outcomes.

This summary is taken from the research review which cover what works in improving the safety, health and wellbeing of children through improving the physical and mental health of mothers, fathers and carers. It is based on a rapid review of the research literature involving systematic searching of literature and presentation of key data. It summarises the best available evidence that will help service providers to improve services and, ultimately, outcomes for children, young people and their families. King’s College London carried out this review on behalf of the Centre for Excellence and Outcomes in Children and Young People’s Services (C4EO).

C4EO’s interactive data site enables local authority managers to evaluate their current position in relation to a range of key national indicators and to easily access publicly available comparative data on adults’ and children’s health and wellbeing. A range of central and local government departments shares responsibility for maximising the safety, health and wellbeing of children through improving the physical and mental health of mothers, fathers and carers. Implementation at the local level is by a wide group of professional and non-professional staff in the community. There is no single source of purposely collected national data for identifying parents with either physical or mental health conditions.

This research review describes what works in improving the safety, health and well-being of children through improving the physical and mental health of mothers, fathers and carers. It is based on a review of the research literature involving systematic searching of literature and presentation of key data. It summarises the best available evidence that will help service providers to improve services and, ultimately, outcomes for children, young people and their families. Individual chapters discuss the available evidence in the following areas: the proportion of mothers, fathers and carers experience mental and/or physical health problems; the relationship between mothers’, fathers’ and carers’ mental and physical health and their children’s safety, health and wellbeing; and interventions and support mechanisms are most effective in increasing children’s safety, health and wellbeing through improving mothers’, fathers’ and carers’ a) physical and b) mental health. The review suggests that current service configuration – especially the split between adult and children’s services – poses a key challenge to the effective delivery of services that can meet the needs of both children and their families. Adult services can provide valuable examples of providing a personalised approach to problems in order to produce personalised outcomes, so that targeted support is not seen as stigmatising by parents, children and young people. Access to services by family members is impeded by the current system of gate-keeping by means of thresholds; i.e. an access point at which access to one or more service/s is judged necessary on the basis of risk or need.

The Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE) has commissioned two systematic reviews in the area of parental mental health and child welfare. The first will review evidence on the prevalence of mental health problems among parents and their detection in health, social care and children’s services. The second review is on the accessibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of interventions to support parents with mental health problems and their children. The reviews are part of a larger SCIE project, the aim of which is to publish practice guidelines in how mental health services (both for adults and for adolescents and children) and local authority children and family services can plan, deliver and evaluate their service to support parents with mental health problems and their children. The guidelines project is being carried out in partnership with the National Institute for Clinical Excellence, their National Collaborating Centre for Mental Health, and SCIE's Parental Mental Health and Child Welfare Network.
