Ensure local emergency mental health care for children in crisis

Summary

Provide 24/7 local mental health crisis support for children, remove barriers caused by county boundaries, and ensure children can access the nearest appropriate hospital. Increase availability of specialist beds and improve coordination between services. Children in mental health crisis are being left without safe, local care. Families are being told to travel hours in the middle of the night or are turned away due to lack of beds or county boundaries. This puts vulnerable children at serious risk. No child should be denied urgent care because of where they live. Immediate action is needed to ensure safe and accessible support for all children.
