Asked by: Baroness Tyler of Enfield (Liberal Democrat - Life peer)
Question to the Home Office:
To ask His Majesty's Government whether they intend to take forward the plans for community hubs supporting young people’s mental health mentioned in the Labour Party Manifesto 2024; if so, which Department is responsible for their delivery; whether these hubs will be open-access; and how many they intend to fund through the programme.
Answered by Lord Hanson of Flint - Minister of State (Home Office)
The Government is committed to rolling out a network of Young Futures Hubs. These will bring together services to help improve children and young people’s access to support to reduce crime and improve mental health and careers opportunities.
This is a cross-government endeavour and expertise has been brought together from across departments to deliver on this manifesto commitment. The government will be engaging with national and local partners, local communities and children and young people to explore options for the design and delivery of the hubs.
