In response to The Government asking people for views on its Green Paper for children and young people’s mental health, the charity has issued this statement:

Last December, the Government published a Green Paper laying out their plans for children and young people’s mental health services. We welcome many of their proposals, but – with services currently in a state of crisis – we think that far more needs to be done. Now’s the chance for you to have your say. Until 2 March, the Government are asking for your opinions on the proposals.

It’s important you use this opportunity  – what you say could make a difference to the services children and young people receive. The consultation includes a lot of questions, but you don’t have to answer them all. We’ve had a look and pulled out what we think are the main questions to answer. Have a look at our guidance on the consultation, and make sure you have your say.
