Thank you for the comments. I met Chris Ruane some time ago around the work that he had done in the cross-party group in Westminster. There was a consensus there for a broader approach, and the politicians themselves have found the usefulness of a mindfulness approach. I’m pleased you recognise that it’s formally mentioned in the delivery plan as well. The challenge will always be: what is the most effective route to support people to have that prevention and that resilience? I’d be very happy for you to write to me with details of the project that you mentioned in your constituency and how the school thinks that they have seen an improvement. That can then help to inform our approach as well. It’s something that we’re open-minded to, if you like.
