“The emotional wellbeing and mental health of children and young people is as important as their physical health and is a vital safeguard for their successful future. A year ago, the CAMHS Review called on everyone to ensure they play their part in supporting and improving children’s emotional wellbeing and mental health.

This report looks at examples of progress but also at the many challenges that need to be tackled if the Review recommendations are to be achieved. It outlines how the National Advisory Council will continue to work with young people, Government and the field to stimulate more open debate and to find solutions in the current economic climate. It cautions against any disinvestment in services: the progress that has been made year on year now needs to be sustained, for the benefit of individuals and society.”
