Recommendation 41

The Government’s pledge of 100% MHST coverage by 2029–30 must be met and must include all post-16 students and trainees. We recommend that Government accelerates the rollout of Mental Health Support Teams with a particular focus on expanding coverage for post-16 settings, which has not kept pace with coverage for primary and secondary schools. In addition to 98 publishing the number and proportion of schools and post-16 settings with access to MHSTs, the Government must monitor, evaluate and publish the impact of this roll out. (Recommendation, Paragraph 160)
