Background:
We report the findings of a descriptive study exploring the views of practitioners working with young people with especially challenging and complex problems, currently cared for by children's services across Yorkshire. We present data on a sample of 79 young people with complex needs, aged 7 to 16 years, in contact with one or more of the children's services.
Method:
We identified the practitioner working most closely with each of these young people. The practitioners were interviewed using a semi-structured interview schedule designed to encourage professionals to reflect on working practices. Interviews were recorded and transcribed and themes categorized using a coding framework.
Results And Conclusions:
We describe and discuss the key themes in the context of current strategic developments of children's services.
