Mental Health Services: Young People
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to his Department's press release entitled Almost million more pupils get access to mental health support, published on 16 May 2025, whether the mental health support measures for young people will apply up to the age of 18.
Answered by Stephen Kinnock
Mental health support teams cover school pupils and further education learners, including those up to the age of 18 years old.
They work directly with school and college staff, alongside National Health Services, to provide professional advice, easing the pressure on school staff and allowing them to help young people get the right support and stay in education.
