In 2017,the Department of Health and Department for Education published plans to improve support for children and young people experiencing poor mental health. There are three key parts to the programme: 1. encouraging schools and further education colleges to select a member of staff to lead on mental health and wellbeingÍľ 2. creating new mental health support teams (MHSTs) to help schools and colleges promote mental wellbeing for all,and directly help children with mild to moderate mental health problemsÍľ and 3. testing how to achieve a maximum waiting time of four weeks for children and young people to access specialist help.
The evaluation will gather and make sense of data that have already been collected (from the NHS,schools and colleges),as well as collecting additional data using surveys,self-completion questionnaires,group interviews and one-to-one interviews. It will find out about children and young people’s experiences of receiving help from an MHST,and about the teams’ experiences of providing help. The evaluation team will talk to staff in schools and colleges to find out if the programme has helped them to support the wellbeing of children and young people in their setting,including those who have not received individual help from an MHST. The team will explore the different ways that local areas involved in the programme are providing their MHST service,and what they have learned from this. They will also try to understand the costs of setting up and delivering the service.
