Taking place as the Care Quality Commission conducted a thematic review into children's mental health services, this seminar examined the next steps for improving children's mental health provision.
The seminar also took place following the announcement of measures to improve child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS), in light of research finding that additional funding provided for CAMHS is in some cases failing to reach frontline services.
Delegates considered the implementation of measures to improve mental health provision in schools, including providing free mental health training for all secondary school teachers. The key findings of the Education and Health Select Committees’ joint inquiry into the role of education in children’s mental health were also discussed.
Further sessions considered the next steps for improving integration in children and young people’s mental health services, in light of the extension of trials to strengthen the links between schools and local NHS mental health staff and the commitment to provide every child with local access to specialist mental health care by 2021.
