	uin	HL5429
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/02/2018 answer text <p>School-based counselling can play an important role as part of wider support for the mental health of children and young people. This includes reducing psychological distress that children and young people may experience as a result of facing a range of life difficulties, supporting young people who are having difficulties within relationships with family or friends, and supporting young people who are having difficulty managing their emotions, such as anger. Many pupils report improvements in their capacity to study and learn following counselling and frequently report that counselling helps them to concentrate, as well as increasing motivation for school and schoolwork.</p><p> </p><p>As part of its CYP-Improving Access to Psychological Therapies programme, NHS England supported Higher Education Institutions to deliver training to enhance the effectiveness of counsellors in delivering evidence-based early interventions for mental health. In 2016/17, 14 counselling therapists were trained to work in a variety of settings and this year a further 13 will be trained to treat anxiety and mild depression. This training is being delivered by two training providers.</p> answering member printed Lord O'Shaughnessy question first answered 20/02/2018 17:37:31 answering member 4545 label Biography information for Lord O'Shaughnessy

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/02/2018 answer text <p>The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) provides independent expert advice on the United Kingdom immunisation programme. It bases its recommendations on a comprehensive review of a wide range of scientific and other evidence, including from the published literature, and commissioned studies such as independent analyses of vaccine effectiveness and cost effectiveness. It can consult with stakeholders on its advice when it deems this necessary.</p><p>At its meeting in October 2017, the JCVI advised a change to the UK’s childhood pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) schedule. It recommended that infants should receive a single dose in infancy followed by a booster at one year of age (a “1+1” schedule). This advice was based on high vaccine uptake and effectiveness of the current PCV programme in the UK which has reduced vaccine-preventable pneumococcal disease.</p><p>The JCVI conducted a short focused consultation in January on its proposed advice about the PCV schedule. This concluded on 2 February. It is understood that some stakeholders have requested an extension to this consultation. The JCVI considered this request at its meeting on 7 February and their decision on this will be made public shortly. It is the JCVI rather than the Government that is best placed to carry out consultation about scheduling within the vaccine programme and who to target the consultation at.</p> answering member printed Lord O'Shaughnessy question first answered 14/02/2018 14:39:11 answering member 4545 label Biography information for Lord O'Shaughnessy
