Part of the GBP 400 million pledged to improve access to psychological therapies will specifically help people from communities that find it difficult to access these services. In 2012/13 Time to Change, the Department of Health funded mental health anti-stigma and discrimination programme focused on working with African and Caribbean communities, ring-fencing 25% of the grants fund for work with BME communities, and build partnerships with BME organisations. It is part of a far-reaching new agreement between police, mental health trusts and paramedics. The Concordat acknowledges that there are particular difficulties to achieving better mental health outcomes for people in black and minority ethnic (BME) communities.
