Young Minds have responded to the government’s Green Paper on children & young people’s mental health.
Dear Rt Hon Jeremy Hunt MP and Rt Hon Damian Hinds MP,
I am writing to you on behalf of YoungMinds to respond to the consultation on Transforming Children and Young People’s Mental Health Provision: a Green Paper.
YoungMinds is the UK’s leading charity championing the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people. At YoungMinds, all our insights, evidence and solutions are influenced directly by the views and experiences of children and young people, and their parents or carers.
We have recently been commissioned by both of your Departments, the CQC and NHS England to carry out wide scale participation activity with children, young people, parents and carers, to inform the Green Paper consultation, Phase Two of the CQC’s Thematic Review and to embed participation throughout NHS CAMH services.
YoungMinds’ response to the consultation, as laid out below, is influenced directly by the views and experiences of the children, young people, parents and professionals that we work with.
