The coroner's concerns
1. high proportion of young people in care with insufficient qualified staff
“ask please that your Department reviews the availability of resources to those Local Authorities which have a high proportion of young people in care and disproportionately few qualified and experienced staff”
2. fragmented integration of care services
“would also ask your Department to review the integration of services between Local Authority Care Services, Adolescent Mental Health Services and Pastoral Care provided in education settings”
