Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the Green Paper on Transforming Children and Young People’s Mental Health Provision, what steps he is taking to implement the national strategic partnership on mental health for 16 to 25-year-olds.

Following an initial meeting with a cross section of stakeholders in May, the Cabinet Office has been working with the Department of Health and Social Care, the Department for Education and a range of other organisations to consider next steps in this area. We are pleased to support the launch of a new University Mental Health Charter in June 2018, aiming to drive up standards in promoting student and staff mental health and wellbeing. Universities will be awarded a new recognition for meeting improved standards.
