There are no plans to publish information in relation to the monitoring and governance that is in place to support the delivery of the vision set out in Future in Mind.

Future in Mind describes an integrated whole system approach to driving improvements in children and young people’s mental health, with the National Health Service, public health, voluntary and community, local authority children’s services, education and youth justice sectors working together to deliver against that ambition.

The care delivery mechanism in making this happen is the system-wide publicly available, Local Transformation Plans (LTPs), that should cover the full spectrum of need for children and young people who have existing or emerging mental health problems. The LTPs can be accessed via the Local Government Association’s website, under Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services, at the following link:
