Putting Participation Into Practice

This guide is intended to provide practical information that staff in specialist Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) and their colleagues in all services that work to promote the mental health and well-being of children and young people – in other words, ‘comprehensive’ CAMHS – can develop to suit their own requirements. The guide draws on the experience of YoungMinds’ researchers and consultants working with children and young people in many different services from across the UK. It provides an overview of participation practice from a range of sources including social care, child mental health, education, youth services and services for children with disabilities. Case studies are used throughout to illustrate ways of involving children and young people in service development and in individual decision making.
