Abstract
Consultation is an important means of service delivery for child and
adolescent mental health teams, and this is recognised in a number of recent
national documents. For the past 6 years, a formalised training opportunity
with a local child and family social work team has been in place on the West
of Scotland higher specialist training rotation. The consultation process is
described, highlighting the mutually beneficial relationship that has
developed for both agencies.
