Following an exploratory project, funded by Guys and St Thomas' Charity between September 2010- November 2011, of the first combined mental health screening and intervention project for <5 Children in Care (CiC) in the UK, the current study will expand this work by a) developing a feasibility study to assess both longer term interventions and outcomes for this group and b) extending the model to two further vulnerable groups of young children. The three groups of children aged 3 months to 3 years (<4's) in Southwark include: 1. Children who become newly looked after (CiC) 2. Children of parents referred to Parental Mental Health team (PMH) 3. Children on Child Protection (CP) Plans Parents will be invited to take part in the study if their children are eligible within the groups above. Informed consent will be obtained at the outset. Hypothesis; The investigators aim to implement a method of screening that will identify socioemotional and mental health needs in infants and young children, aged 0-3 years of age, across three high risk cohorts (Children in Care, children on a Child Protection Plan, children of parents with mental health difficulties). Is it feasible to deliver an early treatment intervention that positively impacts on the difficulties identified, by providing specific emotional, social and mental health support and advice to the child's current caregivers in relation to the child.
