Parents of children with mental health problems in England will get more say on their care, says the NHS after a survey suggested major problems.
A survey of 377 parents by charity Young Minds found two thirds believed they did not get enough support.
It also found a quarter had to wait more than a year for treatment for their child.
The survey was carried out on behalf of NHS England, which said it was a "wake-up call for the system".
It said it now intended to work with Young Minds to improve parental involvement in the development of psychiatric services.
