To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment his Department has made of he potential merits of introducing Mental Health Support teams in every school.
Stephen Kinnock
Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care)
The Department is working across the Government to consider how to deliver on our commitment of a specialist mental health professional in every school. We need to ensure that any support meets the needs of young people, teachers, parents, and carers. This includes considering the role of existing programmes of support with evidence of a positive impact, such as Mental Health Support Teams in schools and colleges.
