Part of 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:34 pm on 12 February 2019.
First Minister, last week the UK Government announced one of the largest mental health trials in the world to find out what can be done differently to improve young people's mental health and well-being. Three hundred and seventy English schools will take part in these trials, testing different approaches, while nine areas will trial new ways of ensuring children entering care get the mental health support that they need at that particularly vulnerable time. Schools in England will also deliver mental health education from 2020, something that Samaritans Cymru have said Wales should do also. I realise you're developing best practice and improving services, and I welcome that, but will you also be looking at these initiatives in England, to see where that evidence emerges and where their best practice emerges too, and also share what we develop here in Wales with our English colleagues?
