CAMHS and SFEDS have openly agreed that currently they are failing my son and many individuals that require immediate mental health support, I am having to go privately to obtain this, which I cannot afford, or he would not be helped and is at severe risk .

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We understand you are concerned about Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services, however it's not clear what you want the Government to do to "challenge" these services. Under current Government guidelines, such services can be delivered. However, decisions on whether and how to deliver these services during the pandemic are matters for the NHS, which is operationally independent of the Government.
