Baroness Smith of Malvern (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 24 July 2024

Debate

Schools: Mental Health and Poor Attendance

Contribution

My Lords, I know that the noble Baroness has done much work in this area and, obviously, has had a Private Member’s Bill on it. Access to mental health professionals will be for all schools, secondary and primary. We are working with the Department of Health and Social Care to ensure that we get that model right and that we can, as she emphasises, provide that early support to alleviate the need for more acute mental health provision for young people, I hope.
