How can I explain something that isn't there!

Hello,

I have the following to do

Explain how the interface with adult services is structured so that the needs of children and young people whose carers are users of services are taken into account.

So off I go to research services in my area.........

Mental Health - Mother & Baby Unit - CLOSED

Local Adult Education Centre & Creche - CLOSED

Local Substance Misuse Support Agency - NO MENTION OF CHILDREN OR FAMILIES, OTHER THAN THEY WILL SHARE INFORMATION WITH SOCIAL SERVICES.

Been through Councils briefings, policy and procedures....no mention of the responsibility to make arrangements to address interface issues with other services, such as services for parents with mental health problems, as per ECM.

What am I supposed to write? There is no structure......Grrrrr Rant over

WHen I say closed I mean forever!

Here's s stab in the dark......

NHS Professionals for adults working with family services i.e. schools, to perhaps organise respite care where a child is a dependent adults main carer.

Probation Officers working with CYP Professionals when a family member is to rejoin the household following realease.

Substance Misuse workers to provide information for CAF plans, i.e. advice on how to support parents when overcoming substance misuse, thus achieving better outcomes for the children.

Obviously I would go into more detail.....but does anyone think this meets the criteria????????????

Im so desperate to finish the unit any help would be appreciated
