The Government understands the importance of face-to-face banking to communities and high streets, and is committed to championing sufficient access for all as a priority.<\/p>

<\/p>

This is why the Government is working closely with industry to ensure that at least 350 banking hubs are delivered across the UK, which will provide individuals and businesses up and down the country with critical cash and banking services.<\/p>

<\/p>

Over 60 banking hubs are already open and Cash Access UK, who oversee banking hub rollout, expect 100 hubs to be open by the end of the year.<\/p>

The Government has taken immediate and substantial action to address water companies who are not performing for the environment or their customers. In July, we announced swift action to begin resetting the water sector, including ringfencing vital funding for infrastructure investment and placing customers and the environment at the heart of water company objectives.<\/p>

<\/p>

In September, Government introduced the Water (Special Measures) Bill to parliament to give regulators new powers to take tougher and faster action to crack down on water companies damaging the environment and failing their customers. These are the first critical steps in enabling a long-term and transformative reset of the entire water sector.<\/p>

This government is committed to improving mental health and wellbeing support for all children and young people. This is critical to breaking down barriers to opportunity and learning.<\/p>

<\/p>

The right support should be available to every young person that needs it, which is why this government will provide access to specialist mental health professionals in every school. We will also be putting in place new Young Futures hubs, including access to mental health support workers, and will recruit an additional 8,500 new mental health staff to treat children and adults.<\/p>

<\/p>

Mental Health Support Teams (MHSTs) currently cover 44% of children and young people in schools and colleges across England. These MHSTs have three core functions: i) to deliver evidence-based early interventions for emerging and actual mental health issues, 1-1 and in groups, ii) to support a school or college\u2019s mental health lead to embed an effective approach to promote and support mental health and wellbeing, and iii) to advise school and college staff, and liaise with external specialist services, to help pupils and learners to get the right timely support and stay in education.<\/p>

<\/p>

Data specifically on how many schools and colleges in Shipley constituency work with an MHSTs is not currently available. As of April 2024, 28% of pupils and learners in Bradford local authority are in schools and colleges that work with an MHST, compared to 44% nationally: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/transforming-children-and-young-peoples-mental-health-provision<\/a>.<\/p>

<\/p>

A resource hub for mental health leads and a targeted mental wellbeing support toolkit are available on the Mentally Healthy Schools platform. Data is available at a local authority level on the schools and colleges that have taken up the offer of the department\u2019s funded mental health lead training grant.

Reforming children\u2019s social care is critical to deliver the government\u2019s Opportunity Mission, to ensure that no child or young person\u2019s background limits their ambition or life chances.<\/p>

Probation staff do an extraordinary job in extremely challenging circumstances.<\/p>

The eight weeks since the Lord Chancellor\u2019s announcement of prisoner release under SDS40 has given the Probation Service more time to prepare than a release on the previous Government\u2019s End of Custody Supervised Licence (ECSL) scheme afforded. We have also committed to recruiting 1000 new probation officers by March 2025.<\/p>

Once released, offenders will be subject to the same set of strict licence conditions. These can include electronic monitoring, alcohol tags and exclusion zones. Should offenders breach these conditions they face being immediately recalled to prison.<\/p>

Since July 2024, the Probation Service has implemented a set of measures designed to help alleviate workload pressures in response to the impact of prison capacity. This involves prioritising early engagement at the point where offenders are most likely to breach the requirements of their licence or community sentence.
