The guidance is available at the following link:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/729914/Working_Together_to_Safeguard_Children-2018.pdf" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/729914/Working_Together_to_Safeguard_Children-2018.pdf</a></p><p> </p><p>The guidance makes clear that anyone who has any concerns about a child’s welfare should make a referral to local authority children’s social services.

This includes both physical and mental health. However, there are already a number of measures in place or being planned to prevent the onset of mental health difficulties, and to support recovery for those who have experienced such difficulties, including introducing an access target for the service called 'Early Intervention in Psychosis' to help people recover after their first psychotic episode and prevent the condition from worsening in the future, and the range commitments outlined in the Children and Young People’s Mental Health Green Paper.</p><p> </p><p>We will be publishing a Green Paper in 2019 which will set out our further plans on prevention in greater detail.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 20/11/2018 15:00:50 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/01/2019 answer text <p>The Mental Capacity (Amendment) Bill will replace the current ‘Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards’ system for protecting people who are deprived of their liberty in England and Wales with a new more robust, efficient and streamlined system, the Liberty Protection Safeguards. The current system has left over 125,000 people without access to protections they are entitled to. The more efficient Liberty Protection Safeguards system will allow people to access the protections they are entitled to more quickly and will therefore be beneficial to many vulnerable people including disabled people. The Department published its’ equality impact assessment for the Bill in December 2018. That assessment outlines that people with a disability, as defined in the Equality Act 2010 will as a group, benefit from these reforms.</p><p> </p><p>The United Kingdom Government supported the development of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) and was one of the first countries to sign it. The Bill is considered to be in line with the principles of the UNCPRD. Supported decision making is already a principle of the Mental Capacity Act, and this remains the case if the Bill is passed. The Bill also supports respecting a person’s inherent dignity, in line with Article 3 of the UNCRPD, by putting a person’s wishes and feelings at the centre and thus ensuring that their inherent dignity is respected.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 23/01/2019 13:32:35 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
