Our response to the Chancellor’s Spring Forecast
The Chancellor used her statement to focus on young people. But if the Government is serious about helping young people find meaningful employment, they must invest in their mental health. Read our full response: www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...
Children and Young People's Mental ill-health is a barrier to school engagement & participation.
Great to see the government reaffirm its commitment on Monday to expand mental health support teams from 60% of schools today to every school by the end of this parliament.

Delighted to partner with NPC to launch Unlocking Support, a new report mapping how to close gaps in mental health support for children & young people. We brought together funders, practitioners, schools, charities & young people to show where action is most needed www.thinknpc.org/resource-hub...
Children and Young People's Mental ill health has been a long standing barrier to school engagement and participation. Its great to see the government reaffirm its commitment to expand mental health support teams from 60% of schools today, to every school by the end of this parliament.
Without this, children and young people with mental ill health will only continue to struggle in their education.
We want to ensure that these new plans to support children in their education include those with mental ill health, and that they are also eligible for the highest threshold of support if they are presenting high needs.
We welcome a shift towards a multi tiered system - which could support a wider range of children struggling with their education.
However, the government has not made it clear how children with mental health needs will be impacted and if they will be eligible for this new provision.
The governments reforms to EHCP comes at an essential time for what has long been a flawed and outdated system, leaving many children behind.
We had lots of updates in this week's newsletter!

We would like to wish everyone who will be receiving A level and GCSE results this month all the best. We know that the period around results day can bring intense stress, anxiety, and fear of failure, so we would like to share some resources in the comments below that you may find helpful 👇
Best of luck to all the Year 13s today. We hope you get the A level results you hope for. But if you don't, remember you have your own path to follow in life and this will never, ever define you.
New opportunity: join a young person’s advisory group and help shape research linked to youth justice and mental health. The Anna Freud Centre are keen to hear from people with experience of mental health services and/or the youth justice system. Get involved: forms.office.com/e/kSrfhHz22P

Children with speech and language challenges are more likely to have poor mental health but less likely to be able to access effective support.
