Add Child Mental Health as a mandatory module to Teaching Degrees in the UK
A module on understanding child mental health should be mandatory study for education degrees. Also be able to take a specialism on the subject to provide schools with staff who can help families with children who need mental health support. "I'm not a mechanic, but I know how to change a tyre"
With no support from schools, families must rely on waiting months for support from backlogged CAHMS and Pediatric depts. This results in miscommunication with schools about attendance and behaviour. Schools say there is no funding available to hire specialists.
1 in 6 school-aged children has a mental health problem(NHS 2020). Pupils who have a mental health problem are more likely to be excluded from school than their peers.(DfE, 2016) There were 26 likely child suicides in 2020(ONS 2020)
