Child mental health referrals surpass one million
The number of children referred to mental health services in England has increased by 10% to over one million, with anxiety the most common reason for referral. Despite some improvements, many children face long waits for support, with over 60,000 waiting more than two years. The report highlights significant inequalities, particularly among Black and minority ethnic children, who are more likely to be in severe distress when referred, and calls for a coordinated approach across health, education, and social services.
