"Why are the regulators and the Government deaf to the needs
of some of the most vulnerable young people in our society?
Firstly, there is a lack of understanding that children
don’t suddenly become sick, then have a few months treatment and are cured.
Meaningful provision means preventative steps must be taken to protect our
young minds from an early age.
We need far more robust education in our schools and care
homes to identify the signs of mental health – and strategies and support put
in place to help these worried youngsters.
It is also crucial that there are ‘step down’ facilities so
young people have the support to re-integrate them into society and are not
just dumped back in the situation that caused their illness in the first
instance."
