<p>Whilst the National Health Service does not plan to fund counsellors in every school,
the joint Department of Health and Social Care and Department for Education Green
Paper, ‘Transforming children and young people’s mental health provision’, set out
our plans to improve access to mental health services for children. The Government
plans have three key components: creating new mental health support teams working
in and near schools and colleges to support children and young people with mild to
moderate mental health conditions; piloting a four week waiting time for access to
specialist NHS children’s mental health services; and training Designated Senior Leads
in mental health in schools and colleges.</p>
