What about the children?: joint working between adult and children's services when parents or carers have mental ill health and/or drug and alcohol problems

What about the children?: joint working between adult and children's services when parents or carers have mental ill health and/or drug and alcohol problems: This thematic inspection by Ofsted and the Care Quality Commission explored how effectively adult and children’s services worked together to ensure that children affected by their parents’ or carers’ difficulties were supported and safe. The report draws on evidence from
cases in nine local authorities and partner agencies and from the views of parents, carers, children, practitioners and managers. It calls on the government to make it a mandatory requirement for mental health services to collect data on children whose parents or carers have mental health difficulties and report on such data nationally.
