Abstract

Child and adolescent deliberate self-harm is a common problem faced by medical services. In 1982 the Royal College of Psychiatrists recommended that certain guidelines be followed in all cases of child and adolescent self-harm. This paper examines to what extent these guidelines are being incorporated into child and adolescent self-harm policies in the West Midlands region. The implications of the findings are discussed for young people and the NHS Trusts who treat them.
