This study will explore how, why and under what circumstances acute children's hospital settings support, or fail to support Black and Mixed-Black children and young people (CYP) to access appropriate mental health (MH) support. This matters because more CYP with MH issues are attending acute children's hospital settings. These settings include emergency departments and children's wards. Investigations have shown that they are often unsuitable for managing high-risk MH behaviour. CYP from ethnic minority groups have poorer access to, and outcomes from, MH services, but they remain under-researched. Black ethnic groups, in particular, have had persistently higher rates of serious mental health issues and detention under the Mental Health Act.
This study will use an exploratory mixed-methods multiple case study design. It will take place across up to three acute hospital trusts in England, including Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust and University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust. Data collection methods will include document reviews, observations, interviews, patient record reviews and anonymised aggregate statistics about CYP's MH presentations.
The study will use purposive sampling and aims to recruit about 90 participants: around 30 CYP, 30 parents or carers, and 30 healthcare professionals. Recruitment may take place through posters containing QR codes displayed in hospitals, community and mental health organisations, and on social media. Children, young people, and parents/carers may also be identified by clinical staff during an acute hospital presentation or through hospital databases following discharge. Healthcare professionals may additionally be recruited through email invitations, staff meetings, and direct approaches.
People who express interest, or complete a consent-to-contact form, will be contacted by the researcher to confirm whether they are eligible and to arrange an information session. Consent will usually be completed electronically. The University of Leicester is sponsoring this research as part of a PhD fellowship funded by the Wellcome Trust.

Exclusion Criteria:
Children and young people who: 1\) Belong to a Black or Mixed-Black ethnic group, 2) Have gone to the hospital for a mental health problem within the last 18 months, AND 3) Are aged 11-18 or are now aged up to 20 but attended hospital for a mental health problem before their 18th birthday and within the last 18 months.
Other: Mental health support
Parents and carers of children and young people who: 1) Belong to a Black or Mixed-Black ethnic group, 2) Have gone to the hospital for a mental health problem within the last 18 months, AND 3) Are aged 11-18 or are now aged up to 20 but attended hospital for a mental health problem before their 18th birthday and within the last 18 months.
Healthcare professionals who are involved in managing children and young people's mental health needs in acute paediatric settings (emergency departments and acute children's hospital wards).
How acute paediatrics settings support children and young people to access mental health support.
Qualitative experiences and perceptions of how acute paediatric settings support or do not support access to mental health support - interviews.
Up to two qualitative semi-structured interviews per participant, each lasting up to 90 minutes, with Black and Mixed-Black children and young people who have presented to an acute paediatric setting at a participating a site with a mental health need, their parents/carers and healthcare professionals with direct experience of the mental health pathway at the site. The interviews will explore the experiences and perceptions of these participants and cover the following components of access to mental health support for Black and Mixed-Black Children and Young People attending acute paediatric settings with a mental health need: 1) disclosure of mental health needs, (2) assessment and referral for mental health support, (3) availability of mental health support, and (4) engagement with mental health support. Access is a composite outcome.
Time frame: Up to 11 months.
Characteristics of the mental health support pathway - non-participant clinical observations.
Care processes and service delivery for children and young people presenting to acute paediatric settings at participating sites with mental health needs, assessed through approximately four, 2-3 hour non-participant clinical observations at each participating site. Field notes will contain non-identifiable, anonymised, contextual information only.
Time frame: Within 1 month of each participating site opening.
Characteristics of the recommended mental health support pathway - document review.
Recommended processes at participating sites for the assessment, management, escalation and referral of children and young people presenting to acute paediatric settings with mental health needs, assessed through review of relevant documents from participating NHS trusts.
Time frame: Up to 11 months.
Characteristics of the mental health support pathway - medical record review.
Medical records of participating Black and Mixed-Black children and young people who previously presented to an acute paediatric setting at a participating site with a mental health need will be reviewed retrospectively to identify the characteristics of their mental health support pathway, including any documented assessment, management, escalation and referral.
Time frame: Up to 11 months.
Start is estimated for Nov 2026; primary completion for Sep 2027, 10 months later.
Of 149 non-industry observational studies under Psychological Well-Being, half reached primary completion within 35 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 14 and three quarters within 155. This study's planned 10 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 158 studies reached it within 30 months; a quarter within 13 and three quarters within 155.
