<p>Work on developing mental health support teams for schools forms part of the work
to implement the proposals set out in the Green Paper, ‘Transforming children and
young people’s mental health provision’. The first wave of recruitment for the Educational
Mental Health Practitioners who will form part of these teams is now under way and
210 people will take their places on specialist training courses from January 2019.
These trainees will start working in schools during 2019. The initial local areas,
or trailblazer sites, that will trial the Green Paper proposals will be announced
by the end of the year. As stated in the Green Paper, we plan to roll out the teams
to between a fifth and a quarter of the country by 2022/23.</p>
