Introduction

OVERVIEW

So what do we mean by childrens wellbeing?

Early intervention to support families is essential

Some policy initiatives by central government

A matrix of cumulative risk and protective factors

Values, knowledge and skills for practice

A chronological focus and the evidence selected

A process for practice: ASPIRE

The Common Assessment Framework (CAF)

I find it deeply satisfying to be writing this book at a time when the focus on risks and difficulties encountered by children and young people is gradually being be replaced by a focus on their strengths and resilience and on factors which offer them protection. It is high time!

SO WHAT DO WE MEAN BY CHILDRENS WELLBEING?

In September 2013, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) issued a Local Government Briefing on Social and Emotional Wellbeing for Children and Young People, stating that it laid the foundations for healthy behaviours and educational attainment. It also helps prevent behavioural problems (including substance misuse) and mental health problems. Definitions are shown in Box I.1.

Box I.1 Definitions of emotional, psychological and social wellbeing (NICE 2013)

Emotional wellbeing: This includes being happy and self-confident and not anxious or depressed.

Psychological wellbeing: This includes the ability to be autonomous, problem-solve, manage emotions, experience empathy, and be resilient and attentive.

Social wellbeing: Has good relationships with others, and does not have behavioural problems; that is, not disruptive, violent or bullying.

Childrens and young peoples mental health

Although the main focus of this book will be on positive features of childrens and young peoples development, we must acknowledge such data as are available concerning their mental health at the present time. The recent NHS England Review (NHS England 2014, p.15) is still based on out-of-date information:

The best available estimates of the prevalence of mental disorders among children and young people are those from the Office for National Statistics surveys in 1999 and 2004. These found that one in ten children aged between five and sixteen years has a mental disorder. About half of these (5.8%) have a conduct disorder, 3.7% an emotional disorder (anxiety, depression), 12% have severe Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and 1% have neurodevelopmental disorders. The rates of disorder rise steeply in middle to late adolescence
