Motion Text

That this House welcomes the publication of the charity NCH's report, Emotional Wellbeing and Social Mobility - A New Urgency to the Debate, into the extent to which emotional wellbeing is a key factor in determining social mobility; recognises that emotional wellbeing is becoming an increasingly important issue in deciding young people's life chances and that there is a growing urgency in the need to tackle problems around emotional wellbeing; supports NCH's new Growing Strong campaign to raise awareness of this issue; and urges the Government to ensure that its education, health and social policies are informed by an explicit focus on developing the emotional wellbeing of children and young people.
