The Government is seeking views on its newly published consultation focusing on children and young people’s mental health.

‘Transforming Children and Young People’s Mental Health Provision: a Green Paper’ is open for consultation until 2 March 2018.

Some of the proposed changes include:
•               introducing ‘designated mental health leads’ in schools and colleges
•               setting up mental health support teams working with schools to give young people earlier access to services
•               piloting a four week waiting time for NHS Children and Young People’s Mental Health Services.

Please take a look at the paper and provide your views on the proposals.
