We welcome the recommendation by the independent Mental Health Taskforce that every area should have a local suicide prevention plan in place delivered through multi-agency groups.<\/p>

We will be working with Public Health England to engage and support local authorities that do not have a local multi-agency suicide prevention plan to put one in place.<\/p>

I will be meeting soon with Departmental officials and our delivery partner organisations on suicide prevention to explore ways in which we can work together to re-invigorate the National Suicide Prevention Strategy, including improving local delivery of its aims.<\/p>

The Children and Young People\u2019s Improving Access (CYP IAPT) Programme is delivered by NHS England and Health Education England. The service transformation programme is aiming to cover community Child and Adolescent Mental Health Partnerships of commissioners and providers across the whole of England by the end of 2018.<\/p>
<\/p>
The CYP IAPT programme is expanding geographically and in scope. As part of this expansion NHS England has worked with Health Education England and set up a 0-5\u2019s expert reference group (ERG). The ERG is in the final stages of development of a competency based educational programme for early years practitioners from a range of disciplines. Three other new curricula are also at the final stages of development.<\/p>

\u2015 Evidence Based Counselling; and<\/p>
\u2015 Evidence Based Psychological Therapies for CYP with mental health problems and autism spectrum disorder and/or a learning disability.<\/p>
