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)

This report reviews progress in improving the quality of care for vulnerable people, following abuse of residents at Winterbourne View hospital. It summarises the changes to improve the quality of care for vulnerable people, specifically those with learning disabilities or autism who also have mental health conditions or behavioural problems. The report covers surveys and monitoring programmes designed to track patients and observe their care; improvements to the commissioning of health and care services; the regulation and inspection of services; and work needed to make sure no one finds themselves in inappropriate care settings. It considers quality and safety issues in respect of advocacy, medication, positive behaviour support, physical interventions and workforce development. The report includes an individual case study and examples of service providers and projects which demonstrate practice that is both effective and sensitive to the needs of vulnerable people. An Easy Read version is also available. (Edited publisher abstract)
