Crawley MP backs plan to ensure almost one million more pupils can access school mental health support this year

The plan, backed by local MP Peter Lamb, will see school mental health support increase to cover an extra 900,000 more pupils this year and ensure that the 500 schools with weakest attendance and poor behaviour receive new intensive support, as the Government strives to raise pupil attendances by 3.1m more days each year.
