Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what information his Department holds on the number of mental health services that have opened in schools and non-health settings since 2010.
The information requested is not held centrally.
We know that around half of schools and colleges already have a dedicated lead for mental health. 61% of schools currently offer counselling, and 90% of schools and colleges offer staff training on supporting pupils’ mental health and wellbeing.
