Background:
Links between Social Service Departments (SSDs) and CAMHS are explored and described through a national survey and a number of site visits.
Method:
Data were collected via (1) a national questionnaire survey yielding a response rate of 75%, and (2) pre-selected site visits to seven SSDs.
Results:
Additional to existing CAMHS assessment and treatment provision to SSDs, there is increasing outreach consultation and support, some provided through primary mental health workers and dedicated clinical psychology sessions. Some SSDs have developed innovative in-house provision for Tier 2 type referrals.
Conclusions:
Outreach and core CAMHS provision to SSDs need equal investment and development.
