Educational Institutions (Mental Health Policy) Bill

This bill requires all educational institutions (schools, colleges, and universities) in the UK to develop and implement formal mental health policies. The institutions must provide trained mental health support staff, establish clear procedures for identifying students in distress, and create referral pathways to external mental health services. The bill sets minimum standards for mental health provision across all institutions and requires regular reporting on mental health outcomes. It aims to ensure that student mental health is treated as a core institutional responsibility rather than a secondary concern.
