Are we listening? A review of children and young people’s mental health services This report describes the findings of our independent review of the system of services that support children and young people’s mental health.
We found that many children and young people experiencing mental health problems don’t get the kind of care they deserve. The system is complicated, with no easy or clear way to get help or support.
We saw examples of services with caring and dedicated individuals who put children and young people at the centre of what they do. But these people are often working long hours, with limited money and an increasing demand for their services to overcome barriers to providing high-quality care. This cannot be maintained in the long run.
Things need to change at the top, so those working with children and young people have the support they need to be able to provide the best care. Care Quality Commission
