✦ Synopsis

The Interface Between Adult Mental Health and Child Protection

Bringing together two distinct professional systems such as adult mental health and child protection challenges our strategies for making eective working together/working in partnership arrangements. And yet failures to make these arrangements increase the risk for children who may be suering or likely to suer signi®cant harm as an outcome of their parents'/carers' mental health problems. This paper oers an analysis of the challenges inherent in bringing these systems together at the assessment interface, and oers some insights into the contribution each system can make to an integrated assessment process for children and their families.
