answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/10/2023 answer text <p>The Government is grateful for the Good Childhood Report and has noted its findings. The Children’s Commissioner’s Family Review covers similar issues and the Government’s response to this will be published imminently.</p><p>The recommendation to create a cabinet level minister for children was addressed in the Government’s response to the final report of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse. We accept the importance of placing the best interests of the child front and centre in policy and decision making at the highest level of government. This role is already fulfilled through the work of the Secretary of State for Education.</p><p>We are implementing the proposals of the Government’s Transforming children and young people’s mental health Green Paper which includes establishing mental health support teams in schools and providing training to Senior Mental Health leads in schools.</p><p>The Department for Education publishes an annual State of the Nation report into Children’s wellbeing. The report brings together a range of published information from government, academic, voluntary, and private sector organisations to provide a clear narrative for all those interested in the wellbeing of children and young people in England. It provides a shared evidence base for everyone – in government, services, schools and colleges, parents and families, communities, and employers – to reflect upon and deliver better wellbeing outcomes for all children and young people.</p> answering member printed Lord Markham question first answered 25/10/2023 11:24:04 answering member 4948 label Biography information for Lord Markham

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/07/2023 answer text <p>The department is committed to ensuring all schools are calm, safe and supportive learning environments that promote and support wellbeing.</p><p>To support this, the department is offering all schools and colleges funding to train a senior mental health lead who can put in place an effective whole school or college approach to mental health and wellbeing. Over 13,800 schools and colleges have now received a training grant, including more than 7 in 10 state-funded secondary schools.</p><p>To help children understand and look after their own wellbeing, as at September 2020, the department’s Health Education curriculum has a strong focus on mental wellbeing. Pupils are taught about the link between physical and mental health, how to recognise and talk about their emotions, and how and where to seek support if they are concerned about their own or someone else’s mental wellbeing.</p><p>When a child or young person is struggling with their mental health, it is vital to intervene early. That is why the department is working with the Department of Health and Social Care and NHS England to continue the rollout of Mental Health Support Teams across schools and colleges. These teams currently cover 35% of pupils in schools and learners in further education and we estimate this will increase to around 44% by April 2024.</p><p>The Department publishes annual State of the Nation reports on children and young people’s wellbeing. These reports draw together the best available evidence and inform work across government to support young people's wellbeing.
