Schools have the freedom to decide what mix of support to offer pupils based on their particular needs.</p><p> </p><p>The green paper ‘Transforming Children and Young People’s Mental Health Provision’ proposed significant further guidance to schools to make these decisions. New Mental Health Support Teams will increase the provision available to pupils with emerging mental health problems. The green paper proposals offer additional funding for new professionals trained in evidence-based interventions, with supervision from expert clinicians. The teams will also provide better routes into specialist NHS services for the pupils that need them.</p><p> </p><p>[1] <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/634726/Supporting_Mental-Health_survey_report.pdf" target="_blank">Supporting Mental Health in Schools and Colleges (2017)</a></p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 21/03/2018 17:14:16 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/07/2018 answer text <p>By 2019-20 we will be spending around £6 billion on childcare support – a record amount. This includes around £1 billion extra a year to deliver 30 hours of free childcare and fund the increase in hourly rates that we introduced in April 2017.</p><p>Our average funding rates are based on the department’s ‘Review of Childcare Costs’ which was described as “thorough and wide ranging” by the National Audit Office. The review looked at both current and future cost pressures.</p><p>The latest Ofsted data from March 2018 showed that the number of non-domestic providers has remained stable. We continue to monitor both the implementation of 30 hours and delivery costs. We have recently commissioned new research to provide us with further robust and detailed data of the costs of delivering childcare for under five-year-olds using a representative sample of early years providers.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 25/07/2018 12:37:02 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
