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. 

Do health and social care services know what you really think?

Share your ideas and experiences and help services hear what works, what doesn’t, and what you want from care in the future.
