Hi,
BBC Radio 4 Woman's Hour are discussing depression tomorrow morning, in the light of an Ofsted report which says that children whose parents have mental health difficulties are poorly supported and protected, and they've asked us to ask you what you think.
In the light of the reports, Ofsted and the Care Quality Commission are proposing there should be a legal requirement for doctors and specialists working with parents with mental health issues to pass that information on to Social Services and other agencies. What do you think?
Would this improve joint working between children's social care and adult mental health services, and lessen risks for children?
Or would such a requirement mean that fewer mothers would be willing to talk about their mental health issues, including post-natal depression, with their doctors?
Many thanks for sharing your thoughts,
MNHQ

Should doctors working with parents with mental health issues be compelled to pass that information to social services?
