	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/06/2015 answer text <p>Schools and colleges have an important role to play in supporting the wellbeing and mental health of their students.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>To help them do this effectively, we recently published a blueprint for school counselling services, which provides schools with practical, evidence-based advice informed by experts on how to deliver high-quality school based counselling. This is available at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/416326/Counselling_in_schools_-240315.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/416326/Counselling_in_schools_-240315.pdf</a>.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>At the same time, the PSHE Association published guidance, funded by the Department for Education, on providing age-appropriate teaching about mental health problems. This guidance can be found at: <a href="https://www.pshe-association.org.uk/news_detail.aspx?ID=1435" target="_blank">https://www.pshe-association.org.uk/news_detail.aspx?ID=1435</a>. They will also be publishing a set of lesson plans spanning key stage 1 to key stage 4 which will be available for schools to use by September 2015.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>We expect that schools will want to use these and other resources to develop the support that they provide. We will continue to work with the sector to look at what further information and support might be helpful.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>We know that many schools already provide their pupils with support such as counselling and play an important role in enabling access to child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS). Teachers, however, are not mental health professionals and it is important that students can get swift access to specialist mental health support where needed. The recent ‘Future in Mind’ report set out our ambitions for improving care over the next five years, including on making better links between schools and specialist services. This report is available at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/414024/Childrens_Mental_Health.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/414024/Childrens_Mental_Health.pdf</a>.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>We have also announced £1.25 billion of new funding over the next five years to treat 110,000 more children with mental health issues. To inform future practice, the Department for Education will be contributing £1.5 million in 2015-16 to a joint pilot with NHS England, which aims to improve knowledge of mental health issues and interventions, and facilitate better joint working between schools and CAMHS.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency East Surrey answering member printed Mr Sam Gyimah question first answered 08/06/2015 10:10:08 answering member 3980 label Biography information for Mr Sam Gyimah

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/06/2015 answer text <p>Public Health England (PHE) has published no estimates for the number of drug-resistant infections in the West Midlands or nationally over the next five years. The science of drug resistant infections is incompletely understood and is rapidly changing and evolving. Multi-drug resistant infections are unpredictable in their occurrence and can rapidly change. For these reasons producing estimates of the likely burden in future years is unlikely to be meaningful or robust.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Antimicrobial resistance is a priority for PHE who are working to improve surveillance and knowledge in this area. Specific antimicrobial resistant infections have been measured by PHE and openly published in weekly Health Protection Reports.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 08/06/2015 10:58:32 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison
