Seventy-two members of staff working in children's residential units in a Local Authority were surveyed, to elicit their experiences and evaluations of working with child mental health professionals. Whilst the majority of staff held few or no formal educational qualifications, they emerged as an experienced group, with a level of confidence in their knowledge and skill base. Support was identified as coming predominantly from within units themselves; relatively few staff had direct contact with child psychiatrists or psychologists, although many children received a service. Staff in general felt that child mental health services were not helpful to them in terms of their work with young people. However, the majority of staff indicated a need for greater direct involvement across a range of child behavioural and emotional problems. The findings are discussed in terms of the changing population of "looked after" children and the recommendations of the Warner Report.
对某地方当局儿童寄宿机构的72名工作人员进行了调查，以了解他们与儿童心理健康专业人员合作的经历和评价。虽然大多数工作人员几乎没有或没有正式学历，但他们是一个经验丰富的群体，对自己的知识和技能基础有一定的信心。大家认为支持主要来自各机构内部；相对较少的工作人员与儿童精神病医生或心理学家有直接接触，尽管许多儿童接受了服务。总体而言，工作人员认为儿童心理健康服务对他们与年轻人的工作没有帮助。然而，大多数工作人员表示需要在一系列儿童行为和情感问题上有更多的直接参与。根据“受照料”儿童不断变化的情况以及《华纳报告》的建议对研究结果进行了讨论。
