<p>The Department works closely with a number of agencies both inside and outside
of the Government to support the mental health of children and young people. This
includes working with the voluntary, community and social enterprise sector to deliver
and evaluate innovative, community-based mental health and wellbeing support for young
people. This includes 10 early support hubs across England, backed by £4.92 million
of new funding until the end of 2024/25. These hubs are open to those aged between
11 and 25 years old, who may not meet the threshold to receive National Health Service
support.</p><p>Our flagship joint programme is the children and young people green
paper programme, working across the Department for Education and NHS England. We are
ahead of target on delivery of mental health support in schools and colleges and the
Department for Education has committed to offer all state schools and colleges a grant
to train a senior mental health lead by 2025, with over 14,000 schools and colleges
having taken up the offer so far.</p>
