	Deaf children are at increased risk for mental health difficulties compared with their hearing peers. Access to high quality, effective mental health services is a key standard of the Children's National Service Framework. There is evidence, however, that deaf children are not accessing mental health support and that generic CAMHS do not have the necessary skills or expertise, such as being able to meet a child's communication needs, and being knowledgeable about deafness and the relationship between mental health and deafness. The first specialist mental health service for deaf children was established in London in 1991. In 2004, two further services (in the West Midlands and York) were funded to extend access. An innovative aspect of this network was the use of teleconferencing (known as the telelink) to facilitate case management and supervision between services, and to allow, where appropriate, children referred to the West Midlands and York services the opportunity to work with a clinical psychologist based in the London service who was fluent in British Sign Language (BSL). Data collected by the research project, supplemented by information collected routinely by the clinics, were used to evaluate the services.

Kapasi, H. (2006) "Neighbourhood play and Community Action 		". yes A1d B11 C3. 
	Lessons from the experience of five community groups developing local play areas.

This project developed a practical and comprehensive set of resources (a ‘toolkit’) for improving public neighbourhood play spaces and services for children and young people. The pilot process also aimed to develop each community’s own abilities and experience in planning and implementing such schemes.

This report details:

    each stage of the process, including the initial development of the toolkit;
    the experiences of each of the five community groups in implementing the toolkit; and 
    the impact this implementation had on the groups themselves.

The study reports how, through their participation in the pilots, all those involved increased their skills, confidence and knowledge and brought substantial additional resources into their communities.

The Neighbourhood Play Toolkit, developed during this project, is available on CD-Rom from the National Children’s Bureau.

Raine, A. and P. H. Venables (1984). "Tonic heart rate level, social class and antisocial behaviour in adolescents." Biological Psychology 18(2): 123-132. yes A1a B11 B3 C1a
	Hypothesized that antisocial behavior in adolescence would be characterized by lower tonic heart-rate levels, especially in higher SES levels where the "social push" toward antisocial behavior would be relatively weaker. The hypothesis was tested using heart-rate data, teacher ratings of antisocial behavior, and a self-report measure of socialization on 101 14-16 yr old males from 1 secondary modern, 1 grammar, and 1 comprehensive school in York, England. Analysis showed that antisocial Ss were characterized by lower tonic heart-rate levels. Further analyses showed that this effect was largely confined to Ss from higher-SES levels, lending support to the biosocial interaction hypothesis. It is suggested that the heart-rate/antisocial behavior relationship is mediated by somatotype or, alternately, that low levels in high-class antisocials may reflect a vagal passive adaptation to mildly aversive events.

Smith, T., et al. (2004). "National evaluation of the wraparound care pilot project." yes A1e B11 C3
	Sets out the key findings of the wraparound care pilot projects in five areas: Cornwall, Ealing, Kirklees, Lancashire and York. Of the parents taking up childcare provision, 56 per cent said it gave them more choice for work and/or study and 32 per cent were able to look or apply for jobs. Parents and providers reported positive benefits for children including curriculum continuity and consistency in Foundation Stage provision. The service most frequently provided in addition to childcare was information on the childcare element of the Working Tax Credit. Nearly half of the pilot centres offered other services for parents, including counselling, training, career advice, parental support and health care services.
