The cross-government suicide prevention strategy, Preventing Suicide in England, identifies young men as a high risk group to prioritise suicide prevention activities.</p><br /><p>The strategy also recognises that schools, social care and the youth justice system have an important contribution to make in suicide prevention by promoting mental wellbeing and identifying underlying issues such as bullying, poor self-image and lack of self-esteem.</p><br /><p>We provide financial support for the National Suicide Prevention Alliance and work with a range of experts and partner organisations to deliver suicide prevention activities across all age groups, including young men. I will be meeting experts again shortly to advance the strategy.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 11/11/2015 10:08:04 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/06/2016 answer text <p>The Independent Living Fund (ILF) closed on 30 June 2015, with funding and responsibility transferring to local authorities in England and the Devolved Administrations in Scotland and Wales. The Department has not made an assessment of the financial impact on those caring for family members, and at this stage does not plan to do so.</p><p> </p><p>However, the Department has issued statutory guidance to local authorities to support this transfer of responsibility and to prevent any former ILF user having their care interrupted during the transfer. I have recently reminded local authorities of the need to comply with this guidance. In addition, the Care Act 2014 introduced important new rights for carers, and placed a duty on local authorities to assess adults who appear to have care and support needs and to meet those needs which meet the national eligibility criteria.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has committed to publishing a new cross-Government National Carers Strategy before the end of 2016. A wide-ranging call for evidence is now underway to underpin the development of the Strategy, which will gather evidence from stakeholders, and carers themselves, on their experience of caring including issues of personal finance and the support they receive from local authorities.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 09/06/2016 10:10:38 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

We have also introduced measures to encourage households to take advantage of pooled resources by deploying at the community scale.
