The need for a significant increase in child mental health services has not until recently been reflected in policies for investment in re- sources,trainingandworkforce.However,therearenowsignsthatthe need for this is being taken seriously at last. Both in England and in Wales, there is a commitment to the development and publication of a Children’sNationalServiceFramework,basedonexpertadvice,which will set standards for the delivery of health and social care services to children, young people and their families. The fundamental principle which is being proposed is that ‘children’smentalhealthiseveryone’sbusiness’.Bythisitismeantthat all professionals who come into contact with children in their day-to-day work should be capable of taking action to promote their emotional well-being and to prevent mental ill health. This means un- derstandinghowtocommunicatewithchildren,recognisingthesignifi- canceofwhattheyaresayingandknowinghowtointerveneortorefer on to appropriate services. It also entails whole school preventive and early intervention programmes being put in place with support from specialistservices,andorganisingprimaryhealthcareservicestointer- veneearlywithmothersantenatallyandpostnatally,toanticipatetheir mental health needs and to offer parent training to promote good parenting.
