answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/06/2015 answer text <p>Schools and colleges have an important role to play in supporting the wellbeing and mental health of their students.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>To help them do this effectively, we recently published a blueprint for school counselling services, which provides schools with practical, evidence-based advice informed by experts on how to deliver high-quality school based counselling. This is available at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/416326/Counselling_in_schools_-240315.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/416326/Counselling_in_schools_-240315.pdf</a>.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>At the same time, the PSHE Association published guidance, funded by the Department for Education, on providing age-appropriate teaching about mental health problems. This guidance can be found at: <a href="https://www.pshe-association.org.uk/news_detail.aspx?ID=1435" target="_blank">https://www.pshe-association.org.uk/news_detail.aspx?ID=1435</a>. They will also be publishing a set of lesson plans spanning key stage 1 to key stage 4 which will be available for schools to use by September 2015.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>We expect that schools will want to use these and other resources to develop the support that they provide. We will continue to work with the sector to look at what further information and support might be helpful.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>We know that many schools already provide their pupils with support such as counselling and play an important role in enabling access to child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS). Teachers, however, are not mental health professionals and it is important that students can get swift access to specialist mental health support where needed. The recent ‘Future in Mind’ report set out our ambitions for improving care over the next five years, including on making better links between schools and specialist services. This report is available at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/414024/Childrens_Mental_Health.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/414024/Childrens_Mental_Health.pdf</a>.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>We have also announced £1.25 billion of new funding over the next five years to treat 110,000 more children with mental health issues. To inform future practice, the Department for Education will be contributing £1.5 million in 2015-16 to a joint pilot with NHS England, which aims to improve knowledge of mental health issues and interventions, and facilitate better joint working between schools and CAMHS.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency East Surrey answering member printed Mr Sam Gyimah question first answered 08/06/2015 10:10:08 answering member 3980 label Biography information for Mr Sam Gyimah

However, the events of this last week have shown us the importance of the highest standards of governance, of independence and of transparency. This is what I will continue to ask of all our sports bodies in the UK and the football authorities in this country are no different.</p> answering member constituency Chatham and Aylesford answering member printed Tracey Crouch question first answered 04/06/2015 12:16:59 answering member 3950 label Biography information for Dame Tracey Crouch

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/06/2015 answer text <p>We continue to support the Government of Iraq (GoI) in its efforts to counter the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). In our communications with the GoI we have emphasised the need to do everything possible to prevent civilian casualties. We have also been clear that the military campaign must be supported by meaningful political reconciliation. We therefore welcome Prime Minister Abadi’s ongoing commitment to inclusive governance and ensuring a unified political response to the current situation.<br> <br>The situation in Syria continues to deteriorate. Assad continues to defy the international community through his barbaric actions, including the targeting of civilians by using artillery and barrel bombs, some containing chlorine. A political transition as set out in the Geneva communiqué is more vital than ever. We will be working with the UN Special Envoy and others to help push forward a political process, helping create the right conditions on the ground by supporting the moderate opposition and putting Assad’s regime under pressure.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 01/06/2015 10:54:00 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/06/2015 answer text <p>The UK remains in close contact with the Government of Yemen and other international partners regarding the situation in Yemen. I spoke to President Hadi of Yemen on 25 May 2015, with the UN Special Envoy Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed on 26 May, and with the Saudi Under Secretary of Foreign Affairs for Bilateral Relations Dr Prince Turki on 24 May. We discussed the situation on the ground and I emphasised the importance of moving to a durable political process.</p><p>The situation on the ground remains unstable and humanitarian needs are critical. The Houthis have continued to use violence and intimidation to achieve their aims. Following the end of a five-day humanitarian pause, Saudi-led airstrikes resumed on 17 May. Ultimately, the solution to the crisis must be a political one and I welcome the UN’s commitment to begin political consultations and its call for participants to engage in good faith and without pre-conditions.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 01/06/2015 11:02:25 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
