Peer support includes a variety of different models, from helping a friend discuss issues, befriending schemes, and formal group support sessions within supportive environment. The call for evidence seeks information what works in peer support for children and young people’s mental wellbeing; the approaches that are currently available; and evidence that can be applied to develop and improve services in the future. Consultation questions also cover types of support, training and accreditation that are beneficial for peer supporters, the use of online peer support, and linking peer support with specialist mental health services. Evidence can be submitted through an online survey. The call for evidence closes on Thursday 24 March 2016. A separate call has also been launched to gather the views of young people.

Government response to the joint report of the Education and Health and Social Care Committees entitled ‘The government’s green paper on mental health: failing a generation’. The response acknowledges some the concerns of the Committees' inquiry, including the need for the Green Paper proposals to integrate into existing provision and services around children and young people; the need to join up with existing work across government; and the importance of the proposals having a positive impact on vulnerable groups. However, it reject the Committees’ assertion that the plans lack ambition in terms of scale and pace. It argues that making available £300 million to support the proposals, represents a major addition to the existing extensive programme of transformation around children and young people’s mental health.

This statistical publication provides national and local level information on services provision that should be in place to meet the needs of children and young people with mental health problems effectively. The figures are based on local authorities self-assessment against four questions: the development and delivery of CAMHS for children and young people with learning disabilities; appropriate accommodation and support for 16/17 year olds; the availability of 24 hour cover to meet urgent mental health needs; the joint commissioning of early intervention support. A local authority total score is calculated by summing the scores from each of these four topics/questions. Average scores for England and for each Region are calculated by taking the average of Local Authority scores.

This green paper sets out measures to improve mental health support for children and young people. The paper focuses on earlier intervention and prevention, particularly in or linked to schools and colleges. The new proposals include: the creation of new Mental Health Support Teams to provide extra capacity for early intervention and ongoing help; encouraging every school and college to appoint a designated lead for mental health; and the piloting of a new 4-week waiting time for NHS children and young people’s mental health services in selected areas. It also details action across other areas to support their core proposals, including tackling stigma, social medial and internet safety, and support for young adults. The paper also outlines the key evidence used to inform the proposals and actions from 'Future in Mind' already in progress. Appendices include summary findings from an evidence review on the mental health of children and young people and summary findings from a survey of existing support in schools and colleges. The consultation period for the green paper closes at midday on 2 March 2018. (Edited publisher abstract)
