answer text <p>On 4 October 2017, the Prime Minister announced an independent review of mental health legislation and practice to tackle the issue of mental health detention. The independent review will look at a range of issues, and central to this will be a consideration of why rates of detention are increasing and what can be done to reduce inappropriate detention and improve how different agencies respond to people in crisis. The review will make recommendations to Government in 2018.</p><p> </p><p>The Government recognises that improved community mental health services need to be in place, to support people before their mental health deteriorates to the point they need to be detained under the Mental Health Act. Crisis Resolution and Home Treatment Teams will therefore receive £400 million in additional funding by 2021, to ensure that they can offer a responsive service at all times of the day.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is also investing £247 million to 2021 in mental health support in hospital emergency departments, and police forces are working National Health Service partners to deliver street triage services to support people with immediate mental health needs. The Government has already introduced a waiting time standard to help ensure that people receive rapid access to Early Intervention in Psychosis services, and in August 2017, 75.3% of patients started treatment within two weeks of referral.</p><p> </p><p>On 18 October, the Government launched a new £15 million scheme, Beyond Places of Safety. This will seek to fund services in 2018/19 and 2019/20, including places of calm and crisis cafes, that offer support to people who are at risk of mental health crisis.</p>

answer text <p>The UK directly supports a number of bilateral education programmes for refugees providing indirect support through multilateral contributions to organisations such as UNHCR. Specifically on the Syria crisis, in 2015/16 UK Aid, as part of the No Lost Generation Initiative (NLGI), has provided nearly 392,000 children in Syria and the wider region with formal education and nearly 95,000 with non-formal education. Additional psychological support has been provided to nearly 199,000 children, and 350,000 text books to children in Lebanon, nearly 100,000 of which are Syrian refugees.</p><p>The UK has been instrumental in creating a new global fund for education in emergencies and protracted crises – called ‘Education Cannot Wait’ – which was launched at the World Humanitarian Summit in May this year. This fund will support displaced children to access quality education, as part of its wider mandate to improve education in emergency and crises affected countries. The UK pledged £30million for two years to the fund, as the largest founding donor, which will contribute towards the fund reaching 4.5 million children in its first two years. The UK also supports research on refugee education, education in emergencies and through a new partnership with the World Bank on their Global Program on Forced Displacement.</p><p> </p>

answer text <p>We are aware of reports of alleged violations of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) in Yemen by all sides to the conflict and take these very seriously. The British Government has always been clear that any action, including military, must be in accordance with IHL. We have raised our concerns with the Saudi Arabian government and have received repeated assurances of IHL compliance and continue to engage with them on those assurances. We have also raised our concerns with the Houthis on the importance of compliance with IHL and international human rights law. A political solution is the best way to bring long term stability to Yemen and avoid a humanitarian catastrophe. The UK fully and actively supports the UN’s efforts to achieve an end to the conflict.</p> more like this
