  • Summary

    This chapter describes the development of a training programme commissioned by the Department of Health (UK) in 1998. It provides examples of its use and ongoing challenges to implementation and evaluation. Risks for staff and costs to families are presented to highlight the need for improving practice through the use of service protocols. The chapter emphasizes the need to integrate training and protocols in order to achieve better outcomes for children and their mentally ill parents. A programme of training and a clear, fully supported protocol must be the minimum necessary requirements to ensure implementation of best practice. The opportunities for prevention and early intervention would be well supported by adherence to a protocol which promoted timely referrals and an appropriate network of relevant professionals to assess, support, treat and review needs. Early intervention is good risk management, which requires early intervention.
