<p>The mental health and behaviour advice was developed with input from a range of
specialist academics and professionals including teachers, headteachers and educational
psychology specialists from the Department of Health’s Children and Young People’s
Improving Access to Psychological Therapies programme (CYP IAPT). Early feedback is
that the advice has been warmly received, including by schools, the mental health
charity YoungMinds and mental health professors from University College London and
the University of Roehampton.</p><p> </p><p>Good mental health services for young
people are absolutely vital and something families care a great deal about. Our advice
to schools helps teachers separate poor behaviour from unmet mental health issues
so that all pupils receive help appropriate to their needs. It also encourages schools
to promote positive mental health through the curriculum and peer mentoring.</p><p>
</p><p>All guidance is kept under regular review to ensure that it is up-to-date and
additions are made as necessary. Part of this involves meeting with relevant professionals
to keep abreast of developments and we have plans in place to meet with specialists
in the field of educational psychology which will inform the planned review in October.</p><p>
