Background: Recent policies recommend effective joint working between health and education; however, the views of service users are underrepresented, particularly opinions of young children. Method: The project was operational from 2005-2008 when interviews were conducted with parents and children. The children were attending CAMHS for mental health and educational difficulties. Results: Results indicated that they had a positive view of multiagency working. They consider that joint working is limited by a number of problems and make recommendations for improvement. Conclusions: Findings indicate that more effective communication between agencies is needed and this should be provided for parents in an accessible language. This has implications for training professionals together. © 2012 Association for Child and Adolescent Mental Health.
