England is working with NHS England, Public Health England, the Local Government Association
and local authorities, professional bodies, charities, experts-by-experience and others
to develop a costed, multi-disciplinary, five-year workforce strategy. This will focus
on the future shape and skill mix of the workforce required to deliver both the Taskforce’s
recommendations and the workforce recommendations set out in the Future in Mind strategy
for improving children and young people’s mental health.</p><p>Health Education England
