>>But to be fair to @lauradonnlee, that seems to be a direct reflection of the report. Only reference to 'parent' I've found so far is:
"Parental conflict is a significant contributor to the mental health problems of their children"

Any mention of SEND or making sure this army is properly qualified?

I've not found reference to SEND specifically (yet), but CAMHS gets a prominent mention.pic.twitter.com/r0UZvShNQ5

Positive, but want more detail on what exactly worked/how/which difficulties etc etc. Seems a bit general.

I'm torn on this. Of course, I want children to get the support they need. But the total lack of discussion re parental consent here, together with highly questionable pharma interventions lurking in the wings.. makes me twitch!!

Completely agree. I'm far too cynical to not look for what might be hidden! To me, It feels like it's missing the key issues too. MH is complex & a specialist area v good reasons. Many of these MH 'first aiders' will be well meaning but untrained sch staff.

This is just going to be a 'spot & refer' model for most teachers I think. Laura's last paragraph touches on the new, embedded role. But even clinical evaluation requires consent. Never mind if you are unhappy with subsequent referrals. This could get messy in a hurry!pic.twitter.com/fxav8feJPZ

I hope you're right, (although concerned if they don't do that already), but I read it differently. I.e. that they want to train up sch staff in identification, CBT etc. Consent is a very grey area, especially if gained from CYP, how many can say 'no' to sch staff?

I'm not averse to having 'spotters' & staff trained in CBT. But I'd want parents involved throughout. I'm very averse to consent being turned into any shade of grey whatsoever tbh & there's a built-in power imbalance in the teacher-pupil relationship. Potential for coercion high.

I completely agree about consent & spotters. Real counsellor/CBT training takes years & some approaches can do more harm than good. I think it's a pretty badly thought out idea all round & potential for things going very wrong are huge.

Quite. The need for parental involvement seems clear to me. They're called 'guidelines for consent to EXAMINATION or treatment' for a reason. How do we ensure that crucial line is not casually crossed by this so-called 'army' of school therapists assessing everyone?

In reality, I doubt much will change. They don't seem to have enough time/support as it is let alone taking on more responsibilities. Time will tell.

You may be right. I shall be looking out for any such arrival of said new role in my little one's school though. At which point I shall probably have a similar chat with them to the one I had with the school nurse. I like to make lines clear!!
