4.4 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.
Adult’s services are structured to be welcoming, clean, bright and safe. My local children’s centre is attractive with newly plastered walls and bright displays, toys are available for the children, the area is clean and everyone is friendly. The staff involved in adult services need to be respectful, be non-judgemental and have time for both the parents and the children. Mental health clinics, libraries, parent support groups and even prisons all cater for children and young people as well as adults by having leaflets for parents to read, toys and books to entertain the children.
