Closed petition Give CAMHS more funding and make them a more efficient system.

Closed on 3 May 2017

CAMHS system makes everything much more difficult for parents and children with additional needs.
TAF meetings in which the same things are said over and over again, no support given, expecting other unqualified in the field services to help families, long waiting lists of over a year.

Waiting YEARS for assessments on children's mental health/additional needs is UNACCEPTABLE, whilst other families slip completely through the net.
It's paramount to neglect, if parents were to neglect their child(ren) they'd be put on child protection, yet services which are supposed to help children are allowed to NEGLECT their responsibilities, through excuses of lack of funding. CAMHS are extremely unorganised, and inefficient to more than half of the families they are supposed to he helping.
