Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what the status is of the 10 pilot programmes aimed at improving mental health assessments for children entering care.
Our delivery partner, the Anna Freud Centre, received over 50 applications from local areas wanting to take part in the programme. The selection process has now concluded, and the successful sites are working with the Anna Freud Centre on their individual plans to implement the pilot. We will make a public announcement on the sites shortly.
