Many children and young people with social work involvement (CYPwSW) experience mental health difficulties. Yet, little is known about factors affecting their access to Child and聽Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS).
This seminar will present findings from the 鈥淐AMHS Referrals and Outcomes for Adolescents and Children with Social Workers鈥� (COACHES) study. It will cover:
- Potential inequalities exposed by the data
- Strengths and limitations of using administrative data
- Involvement of experts-by-experience, practitioners and policymakers throughout the study.
This in-person聽event will be particularly useful for聽social scientists, health scientists, and mental health professionals.
