In this special Mind Matters webinar, join the Children’s Commissioner, Dame Rachel de Souza, to discuss the results of the recent children and young people's survey The Big Ask. 

Dr Jacqueline Phillips Owen, Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist, will discuss the issues Dame Rachel plans to champion to improve the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people in England.

Dame Rachel de Souza will also address actions that need to be taken across government, health, education and social care for children and young people to see real improvements in how society cares for them. 

Aims of this webinar include:

  • Consider the results of the ‘Big Ask’ Survey of children and young people’s well-being across England
  • Discuss the balance between early intervention versus late
  • Explore the children’s commissioner's thoughts on how to bring health, education and social care together to best meet the needs of children and young people

Speakers in this webinar will consider the obstacles to implementing early intervention programmes in schools and colleges and whether the 2017 Green paper: Transforming Children and Young Peoples Mental Health Provision, is still fit for the purpose post-pandemic.
