Children with learning disabilities are four times more likely to have mental health problems than their mainstream peers (Emerson and Hatton, 2007), while the UK Government’s 2017 Green Paper, Transforming Children and Young People’s Mental Health Provision, states that over half of all mental health problems emerge before the age of 14 years. It is critical to identify and address areas of social, emotional and mental health need for these children and young people as early as possible.
