Asked by:
Baroness Tyler of Enfield (Liberal Democrat - Life peer)
Question
to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the potential of early support hubs to improve young people’s access to mental health support; and what steps they are taking to ensure that mental health support is embedded as part of the core offer of Young Futures Hubs.
Answered by Baroness Merron
- Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care)
Since 2024/25, 24 early support hubs received top-up funding of £8 million to expand their early intervention and prevention support for children and young people's mental health and to take part in an ongoing evaluation of these services.
The evaluation of the early support hubs project will make a significant contribution to the design and implementation of young futures hubs, ensuring that services continue to evolve to meet the needs of young people.
The Government’s first 50 young futures hubs will bring together services at a local level to support children and young people, helping to ensure that young people can access early advice and wellbeing intervention. We will work to ensure there is no wrong door for young people who need support with their mental health.
