Key Messages
There is a need for better prevalence data on the number of children who have a parent with a mental health problem.
To better understand the relationship between maternal mental health, poverty and children’s educational outcomes there is a need for further child-centred research.
Joint protocols between health and education can improve educational outcomes for children and young
people.

Key Messages
Staff training and appropriate educational interventions within schools are crucial to enable children to enjoy access to a full educational experience.
Targeted interventions for families experiencing mental health problems should be slotted into existing parental programmes.
