England’s guidance to support the development of Local Transformation Plans (LTPs)
for children and young people’s mental health and wellbeing all clinical commissioning
groups have produced plans that have now been assured and funding allocated for implementation.

health needs of children and young people in their local populations and should cover
the whole spectrum of need, which includes improving access to mental health services
for vulnerable groups such as children in care, so that they can receive high quality
mental health care when they need it.</p>
