Editorial Perspective: The new Special Educational Needs and Disability Code of Practice —an opportunity for school mental health services?
Abstract
The 2014 English Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) Code of Practice, a policy framework for delivery of a range of services including Schools Mental Health Services (SMHS), is considered in the context of international research on the delivery of mental health services in schools. Effective interventions have been reported in poor and middle‐income countries, whereas there is less information about routine services in high‐income societies, and what they report are equivocal outcomes. In England and the United States, problems with acceptability of routine mental health assessment, together with ...

Service users as the key to service change? The development of an innovative intervention for excluded young people
ConclusionsMusic & Change was valued by young people who do not easily engage with professionals and services. The findings led to the development of the ‘Integrate’ model, which is using these coproduced principles to underpin several new pilot projects that aim to address the health and social inequalities of excluded young people.

Innovations in Practice: an objective measure of attention, impulsivity and activity reduces time to confirm attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder diagnosis in children – a completed audit cycle
ConclusionsThe findings suggest that the addition of the QbTest to standard clinical assessment may reduce time to diagnosis and potentially result in cost savings to the NHS. These preliminary data suggest that there is a potentially clinically meaningful benefit of adding the QbTest to routine clinical ADHD assessment and this should be examined next in the context of a randomised controlled trial.

Acceptability, reliability, referential distributions and sensitivity to change in the Young Person's Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation (YP‐CORE) outcome measure: replication and refinement
ConclusionsThese findings suggest that the YP‐CORE satisfies standard psychometric requirements for use as a routine outcome measure for young people. Its status as a free to use measure and the availability of an increasing number of translations makes the YP‐CORE a candidate outcome measure to be considered for routine services.

Measurement Issues: Measurement of posttraumatic stress disorder in children and young people – lessons from research and practice
This article outlines the range of instruments available for these aspects of measurement, including assessment of PTSD in very young children, with a focus on those scales with good clinical utility and sound psychometric properties.
FindingsThis is a particularly challenging time for clinicians working with children and young people with PTSD: all instruments will need to be revised and updated in order to better reflect the recent revisions to the diagnostic criteria for PTSD with the publication of the DSM‐5 and no doubt the anticipated ICD‐11. Despite this, measurement tools can still play a vital role in assessin...
