The government’s 2004 Mental Health and Social Exclusion Action Plan identified parents with mental health problems and their children as one of the groups most likely to face barriers to getting their health and social care needs addressed. The section in this plan which addressed the needs of this group was Action 16. This report analyses the work of the Action 16 outcomes partnership 2005-2008, which aimed to find ways of improving opportunities and outcomes for parents with mental health needs and their children. It provides an overview of the Action 16 programme of work, its objectives and activities, and a contextual analysis of the extent of its success in achieving them. Information for the review was gathered from key documents, including policies and interviews with key stakeholders. The key message of the Action 16 programme was ‘think family’. This report describes how, through awareness-raising, sharing and disseminating knowledge and developing resources for positive practice, the Action 16 programme has influenced emerging policies and work-streams across children's and adult services to focus more clearly on improving outcomes for families.
