A top children’s services director has called for the ‘very highly regarded’ mental health support teams (MHST) model to be rolled out across the country.

The Department of Health and Social Care last month outlined a target of 50% of pupils to have access to MHST support by the end of 2024-25.

President of the Association of Directors of Children’s Services, John Pearce, told The MJ: ‘Mental health support teams in schools are really positive, but there’s not enough of them.

'We know it’s a model that works and is very highly regarded by schools and lets them support children at an earlier stage, so it should be working towards 100% coverage and not just pockets of schools being able to access that sort of provision.’
