Delegates at the autumn conference in Bournemouth will debate the proposal.
The Liberal Democrats are calling on the Government to triple tax for social media firms to fund a dedicated mental health professional in every school in England.
Deputy leader Daisy Cooper warned mental health has “dropped off the political radar” as she introduced a wider package of health proposals, including regular check-ups on the NHS for those at risk.Mental health “MOT checks” would also be offered to men in their 40s, women who have recently given birth and people in retirement under party plans.
The Lib Dems became the first political party to adopt an early version of its manifesto for the next general election at its annual conference in Bournemouth on Sunday. Protecting Britain’s rivers with a special “blue flag” status to prevent sewage dumping and the right to see a GP within seven days have also now become party policy.
