Biography
Baroness Tyler of Enfield has engaged extensively on mental health, children's wellbeing and social care through 40 debate speeches across 2025-2026. Key themes include championing children's mental health services and early intervention, scrutinising NHS modernisation proposals, supporting unpaid carers, and promoting family relationships for children in care, particularly sibling contact. She has also raised concerns about the framing and accessibility of support services, such as Young Futures Hubs, to ensure they do not stigmatise young people seeking help.
