camhs being awkward with my request

My daughter is 16 and been under camhs on and off since she was about 8. She could write a book on CBT as this is all they've done. She was referred to the eating disorder clinic in August last year they diagnosed her with clinical depression, eating disorder (fear of food) anxiety , school phobia.  She also self harms. I've always told her councillors that I felt she was autistic but they said she wasn't.  Now her brother has a referral for autism, I sent a written  letter to them insisting on a referral for her using the nice guidelines.  They have responded by sending me 2 Australian scale questionnaire one for myself to complete and one for school.  She's not been attending school for 2 years (to which they know) she is in part time hospital school.  So who do I ask to fill out the other form?

  • Has anyone here ever sued Camhs for damages.

    as my son had to wait until he was 22 before a diagnosis after being under Camhs since the age of 8 - Camhs failed to spot Autism.

    Having the same thing now with my daughter (although her's may not be autism) she wil have to wait until 18 before she can get a firm diagnosis. 

    Their lives including education have been completely destroyed due to the lack of help from Camhs and refusing to diagnose.

    Can i Sue and if so where to start?
