That this House supports the Growing Strong campaign by NCH, the children's charity, to highlight the huge impact emotional wellbeing has on the life outcomes of children and young people; recognises the increasing importance of the link between emotional wellbeing and social mobility; believes that urgent action needs to be taken to address the emotional health of children and young people, particularly the most vulnerable; calls on central and local government to ensure that the emotional development and needs of children and young people are given a greater priority in delivery of children's services; and further believes that all organisations such as the NHS and private and voluntary organisations working with children and young people should do more to promote emotional wellbeing.
