Transition between Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) and Adult Mental Health Services (AMHS) can be stressful for the young person and family alike. Previous reviews have focused on specific aspects of transition or perspectives of young people, or have not used systematic approaches to data identification and analysis.

Media stories about young people in police cells, and children travelling many miles from home to receive hospital care, have generated concern about access to help for children and young people in mental health crisis.
