BANES, Swindon & Wiltshire (BSW) Experiences of Young People’s Transition from CAMHS at 18 years Old – Parent Carer and Young People’s Surveys


Oxford Health Foundation Trust Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) and Avon and Wiltshire Partnership Trust Mental Health Service (AMHS) are keen to better understand the experience of young people and their parents/carers as they transition at 18 years of age from CAMHS to AMHS in Wiltshire, Bath and North East Somerset and Swindon.

The surveys below are for parent carers and young people who have had experience of transitioning from CAMHS at 18 in the last 2 years.

This survey will take 5 minutes to answer. Your input will help shape the future of this important process.

The focus on learning from these surveys will happen in one area at a time starting with Wiltshire and in time moving on to Bath and North East Somerset and Swindon as a fuller picture of need is developed.

The aspiration is that every young person under CAMHS will receive information about a range of options in adult mental health services, be asked their views to add to any adult mental health service referral and receive information on support available for parents/carers.

Responses will be stored and analysed in a group with other responses by a joint CAMHS and AMHS service development team, in order to improve services for young people in the future. It will not be linked to your young person’s clinical records or used to inform their individual care. If you would like to discuss your young person’s individual care please contact their clinician(s).

The surveys will be anonymous unless you choose to provide your details to be contacted to join a focus group or take part in a semi-structured interview.

How do Wiltshire Council Assessment Processes Affect Mental Health?

Wiltshire Council has produced a short survey to collect feedback about how council assessment processes might affect mental health. It is hoped that as many young people as possible will respond to the survey, with support from their parent carers if necessary.

The data from this survey will be shared with Council leaders in April, with the hope that recommendations are considered in making processes less mentally distressing should the results show this to be the case; should the opposite be true the aim would be to celebrate the relevant people working to make such processes as accessible and supportive as they can.

The survey will close on Monday 1st April 2024. Click [HERE] to go to the survey.

Have Your Say and Contribute to Wiltshire’s Cultural Strategy

Wiltshire Council is trying to engage with as many stakeholders as possible across the county to help inform the development of a Cultural Strategy for the period 2024-2030.

Culture is a way to reconnect people with the places they live, providing a sense of belonging and contributes to health and wellbeing and connects people with their communities. It stimulates growth, provides employment, and supports enterprise, making cities, towns and villages vibrant places where people want to live, work, and raise a family. The 2024-30 Cultural Strategy for Wiltshire will aim to place culture and creativity at the heart of Wiltshire’s economic and social future, and this can only be achieved through a distinctive vision and plan created with the broadest possible range of views.

To share your thoughts and views please [complete the survey here] by Sunday 24th March 2024.

What Would you Like to See in a Paediatric Hospital Passport?

A hospital passport is a document that provides information about children and young people that healthcare professionals can read. Somerset NHS Foundation Trust along with other trusts across the region, are working with NHS England, and the South West Region of Parent Carer Forums, to create a singular paediatric hospital passport that can be used throughout the South West region.

They have created a questionnaire to give you a chance to have your voice heard about the features you would like to see within the regional paediatric hospital passport.

Please click [here] to go to the questionnaire.

This questionnaire is for parents, carers, and healthcare professionals alike. The passport is for any child, or young person who would like one. This can include children with learning disabilities, complex care, mental health disorders, or any child who regularly attends hospital.

They would like your input as to what features are put into the passport. The answers to this questionnaire will help develop the next paediatric regional hospital/health passport. They greatly appreciate your time in filling out the answers and sharing this with your contacts.
