Authors' objectives: The research question was 'What is known about the identification, assessment and management of risk (where "risk" is broadly conceived) in young people (aged 11–18 years) with complex mental health needs entering, using and exiting inpatient child and adolescent mental health services in the UK?'
Authors' recommendations: The less obvious risks are important, but little evidence exists to support their identification, assessment and management. This has implications for services, and a programme of research is recommended to generate new knowledge.
