The Listening to Children and Young People project was set up in response to concerns that the voice of children and young people was absent from the consultation and planning process of children’s services, particularly with reference to mental health issues. It was commissioned by the South Gloucestershire Joint Children’s Strategy Workgroup on Child and Adolescent Mental Health. The Project aims were to: explore the attitudes and perceptions of a broad range of children and young people towards emotional and mental health and mental illness; extend understanding and awareness of children’s views and experiences of services in South Gloucestershire; and enable children's services in South Gloucestershire to establish good methods, work practices and arrangements around listening to children now and in the future so as to guarantee their continuing effective participation in service planning and delivery. The project outcomes and processes will be used to inform: agency and inter-agency training events in South Gloucestershire; and agency and inter-agency reviews of services and service planning in the area, in particular with reference to Quality Protects targets with reference to ‘listening to children and young people’.

Regulating mental health and motherhood in contemporary welfare services: anxious attachments or attachment anxiety?

Contemporary social services departments are characterized by the separation of services to adults from those to children and families. Professional disquiet about the gulf between adult mental health and child-care services has led to demands for more communication and collaboration between sectors and also at the interface with health-provider agencies. However, in the current climate, this is not necessarily a progressive move. For many women the prospect of involvement with both childcare and mental health services may prove to be something of a poisoned chalice, holding little hope of improved and more relevant services, but promising only increasing levels of coercion, censure and surveillance.
