Do Nothing
This option would put the provider and in turn, the council at risk
of failure of being able to fulfil their obligations under the
Mental Health Act 1983, Children and Families Act 2014, and
Children’s Act 1989, to meet the needs of CYP who have
been assessed as requiring these services. We would also be morally
failing our children and young people in need of these services,
and would not be taking on board the government’s plans for
expansion on mental health services through the Transforming
Children and Young People’s Mental Health Provision: a Green
Paper (DoH and DfE, December 2017).
