"No communication with parents "

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback and apologise for your negative experience. Any admission to EPUT CAMHS will include the parent/carer during the admission process where legally appropriate to do so. Information is shared on admission including a welcome pack which provides information on the service and the review process. Parents/carers are invited to be part of the review process and discharge planning. This can however differ when a young person has the capacity to make decisions about information sharing and refuses to share information. In that case, we have to respect their confidentiality bearing in mind the limits of confidentiality which are fully explained to the young person at the time. We always try to encourage information sharing with parents/carers and discuss this regularly with the young person. We often offer family therapy sessions or similar meetings to work on the reasons a young person is refusing to share information. We are unable to confirm if this is what happened in your case without further information.
