6. Recommendations to address the needs of children and young people
- We recommend to improve services to address the emotional health and wellbeing of children and young people and focus on those that are more vulnerable (looked after children, Children in Need, disabled children)
- Continue to reduce the number of teenage pregnancies and support young parents
- Improve the support for young carers who care for family members and offer better access for parents to treatment for addictions
- We advise that the predicted rise in the number of children and young people is reflected in the number of school places and access to primary care
- We recommend producing protocols for adult mental health and drug misuse services that consider the needs of any children of service users and to inform the relevant agencies
