Child and Adolescent Mental Health (All Wales NGO Children’s Policy Group Briefing Paper, 2009) (PDF, 108KB)
November 2009. NSPCC Cymru/Wales, as part of the Non-Governmental Organisations children's policy group in Wales, have produced a joint briefing paper on Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) in Wales. Our briefing paper clearly sets out what we feel has been achieved within CAMHS but also what remain as concerns, alongside key recommendations. As a collective group of children’s organisations in Wales, we strongly believe that promoting and supporting positive mental health in children and young people represents a sound investment in the future of our communities.
