What the petition asks

The Government should commission an urgent and thorough review of the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) to ensure it adequately supports children and young people.
CAMHS should be an accessible, safe and effective service. The review should look into how CAMHS can operate as a triage service and treat common presentations only, with children and young people with complex presentations referred to specialist mental health services.
