The data showed that people in receipt of Employment and Support Allowance experienced particularly high rates of most disorders.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/09/2019 answer text <p>The Government has made no specific assessment of the Roots of Empathy programme. It is important that schools have the freedom to decide which programmes are most appropriate and best meet the needs of their pupils, drawing on an evidence base of effective practice.</p><p>Good mental health and wellbeing, including the social and emotional development of children and young people, are a priority for the Government. The Department is committed through its education reforms to ensuring that all children, regardless of background, are prepared to succeed in adult life. Schools and colleges have an important role to play in supporting the mental health and wellbeing of their pupils, through ensuring a supportive school ethos which fosters a strong sense of community, and enables engagement and success by all.</p><p>The Department is making relationships education compulsory for all primary pupils, relationships and sex education (RSE) compulsory for all secondary pupils and health education compulsory for all pupils in primary and secondary state-funded schools. The subjects are designed to foster positive, respectful relationships. In health education, there is a strong focus on mental wellbeing. The Department is putting in place a programme of support for schools as they introduce the new subjects, and this will include helping schools to identify evidence-based programmes and high quality teaching resources.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 03/09/2019 15:27:41 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2019 answer text <p>Local Youth Offending Teams (YOTs) are multi-agency partnerships (which include health services) and they determine which services are needed to address the needs of the children who offend in their area. As of June 2017, there were 127 full time equivalent posts for seconded mental health practitioners working in YOTs in England and Wales. This included 59.7 part time and 68 full time posts.</p><p> </p><p>Additionally, Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) in England, are expected to work with NHS England and local partners across the NHS, public health, children and adult social care, youth justice and the education sectors, to jointly develop and take forward local plans to improve children and young people’s mental health and wellbeing, including children going through the youth justice system. In Wales, Local Health Boards (LHBs) are responsible for planning and delivering medical services, and aim to integrate specialist, secondary, community and primary care and health improvements. Even where there is no child psychologist or mental health professional embedded within the youth offending team, areas should have provision for children to access appropriate mental health support.</p> answering member constituency Aldridge-Brownhills answering member printed Wendy Morton question first answered 09/09/2019 15:59:26 answering member 4358 label Biography information for Wendy Morton

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/09/2019 answer text <p>Our consultation on <em>Overcoming the barriers to longer tenancies</em> sought views on the potential benefits of longer tenancies in the private rented sector. A number of people responded that increased security would improve tenants’ mental health and well-being. In particular, respondents mentioned that fewer house moves could help tenants have better access to local amenities, such as schools and GP clinics, and feel more integrated into their communities.</p><p>Earlier this year, the Government announced its commitment to improve security for renters, and intends to introduce a new, fairer deal for both tenants and landlords.</p><p>As part of this new deal, we will put an end to ‘no-fault’ evictions by repealing section 21 of the Housing Act 1988. Under the new framework, a tenant cannot be evicted from their home without good reason, providing tenants with more stability, and enabling them to put down roots and plan for the future.</p><p>On the 21<sup>st</sup> July we launched a 12 week consultation on the details of our proposals. The Government will collaborate with and listen to tenants, landlords and others in the sector to develop a more effective system that works for everybody.</p> answering member constituency Tatton answering member printed Esther McVey question first answered 04/09/2019 12:46:25 answering member 4084 label Biography information for Esther McVey
