CAMHS - Parents and Carers User Experience

Report - 31 December 2018

During 2015 we undertook a review of CAMHS, the report highlighted emerging patterns around waiting times when accessing the service. We wanted to re-visit this piece of work to find out if there has been any improvements since our report was published.

We spoke with children and young people along with parents and carers and professionals working with children to find out their views on the service in particular we looked at waiting times and what support is in place for children and young people whilst waiting for an initial appointment.

To see our key findings and to look at our recommendations download a copy of the full report.

Through our outreach and engagement work in the local community, we had picked up a number of comments and case studies about access to the service and long waits. We had also received some case studies (patient stories) that highlighted that there were problems with the CAMH service which was impacting upon individual’s experiences.
