Access to mental health support for children and young people involved in or at-risk of serious youth violence across England and Wales: findings from a multi-strand project
October 2025
This report examines how children and young people involved in, or at risk of, serious youth violence in England and Wales access mental health support — and how that access can be improved. It draws on five strands of research: literature reviews, data analysis, service mapping, and over 100 in-depth interviews with professionals, caregivers, and young people.
The report was commissioned by the Youth Endowment Fund, as part of a wider partnership with Department for Education, looking at how well the system protects young people at risk of violence.
