The responsibility for interpreting and applying the Regulations and the Care and Support Statutory (CASS) guidance rests with local authorities, taking into account all the available information and taking its own legal advice where appropriate. Where a person receives a disability related benefit, the local authority should assess and allow for the service user\u2019s disability related expenditure and apply flexibility where necessary.<\/p>
The CASS guidance provides in paragraph 41 \u201cWhat is disability-related expenditure should not be limited to what is necessary for care and support. For example, above average heating costs should be considered.\u201d<\/p>

The first is for 95% of children (up to 19 years old) with eating disorders to receive treatment within a week for urgent cases (and four weeks for routine cases). The second is for 50% of patients (of all ages) experiencing a first episode of psychosis to receive treatment within two weeks of referral. We are currently exceeding or on track to meet these waiting time standards.<\/p> <\/p> The recent Green Paper, \u2018Transforming Children and Young People\u2019s Mental Health Provision\u2019, published by the Department for Health and Social Care and the Department for Education, announced the creation of new Mental Health Support Teams. These teams will deliver mental health interventions for those with mild to moderate needs in or close to schools and colleges (and refer those with more severe needs on to specialist services). The Green Paper also announced the piloting of a four week waiting time to improve access to National Health Service mental health services, which we will roll out in a number of trailblazer areas alongside the support teams. The Green Paper is supported by an additional £300 million.<\/p> <\/p> We will also ensure that at least one teacher in every primary and secondary school will receive mental health awareness training to enable school staff to spot common signs of mental health issues, and to help children and young people receive appropriate support.<\/p>"}
