	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.

Virginia Shaw, M. B. a. A. J. (2002) "Planning for Disabled People in New Osbaldwick 		". yes A1c B15 C1b. 
	 This study explores what might help disabled people settle most easily into a new community. The review uses two approaches to meeting the needs of disabled people – the social model of disability, and the seven foundations of independent living – as a framework for making recommendations about the planning of ‘New Osbaldwick’, the Foundation’s planned new community on the edge of York. The review argues that, taking an inclusive approach to all impairments, and using prevalence rates within the general population, assumptions can be made about the numbers of wheelchair users, people with learning difficulties and mental health problems and so on. This has implications for all aspects of life in New Osbaldwick – including buildings, information, and community facilities.
