answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/07/2015 answer text <p>Arrangements for teachers’ pay are based on recommendations from the School Teachers’ Review Body (STRB), the independent body that advises on teachers’ pay and conditions. The reforms introduced in the last Parliament have given greater autonomy to schools to decide how to reward their staff and how quickly pay progresses. The most successful teachers are now able to progress faster than before. Following consultations with the statutory consultees, the Secretary of State confirmed the government’s acceptance of the STRB’s recommendations on 6 July 2015. The department has no plans to review this decision.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 13/07/2015 14:07:23 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/07/2015 answer text <p>We recognise that schools have a vital role to play in helping to promote good mental health for all their pupils as well as providing early support where mental health problems have been identified. It is important that schools can develop approaches to supporting pupils which suit their particular circumstances.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>While we do not collect detailed central information on this provision we have produced a number of pieces of guidance to support practice in schools. These include advice on mental health and behaviour to help schools support young people with mental health needs. This can be found here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/mental-health-and-behaviour-in-schools--2" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/mental-health-and-behaviour-in-schools--2</a></p><p> </p><p>We have also published a blueprint for school counselling services which provides schools with practical, evidence-based advice informed by schools and counselling experts on how to deliver high quality school based counselling. This can be found here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/416326/Counselling_in_schools_-240315.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/416326/Counselling_in_schools_-240315.pdf</a></p><p> </p><p>We funded the Personal Social Health and Economic Education Association to produce guidance to improve teaching about mental health in PSHE, which will be supplemented by detailed lesson plans for Key Stages 1-4.</p><p> </p><p>Teachers are not mental health professionals and it is important that students can get swift access to specialist mental health support where needed. An additional £1.25bn is available for mental health services for children, young people and new mothers over the next five years, to ensure timely access to appropriate specialist support.</p><p> </p><p>To inform future practice, the Department for Education will be contributing £1.5 million in 2015-16 to a joint pilot with NHS England, which aims to improve knowledge of mental health issues and interventions, and facilitate better joint working between schools and Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services.</p> answering member constituency East Surrey answering member printed Mr Sam Gyimah question first answered 13/07/2015 09:56:40 answering member 3980 label Biography information for Mr Sam Gyimah
