Almost 30% of older private renters live in non-decent homes. It goes without saying that no one should be living like this. It's time to fix unsafe homes.

Rates of school absence have risen significantly since the pandemic, with 1 in 5 children persistently absent from school. What's causing it? And what needs to be done to boost attendance and ensure children can engage in education? centreformentalhealth.org.uk/publications/n… #NotInSchool 🧵
Honoured to have contributed to the drafting of this work.
Thank you Centre for Mental Health and Children & Young People's Mental Health Coalition for championing the intersection of MH and school attendance and for supporting our Recommendations and Asks.
1 in 5 children is 'persistently absent' from school (missing 10% or more). Our briefing with Children & Young People's Mental Health Coalition shows that school absence has risen at the same time as increasing mental health problems, child poverty and waits for support: centreformentalhealth.org.uk/news/item/poor… #NotInSchool
📢 Poor mental health and long waits for support are fuelling school absence, according to our new briefing with Children & Young People's Mental Health Coalition.
Initiatives to boost school attendance won't be effective unless they address these wider factors. 👉 centreformentalhealth.org.uk/publications/n… #NotInSchool

'We must and can do better than inventing ‘cultures’, rather than addressing the very real, but solvable, problems society has created.'
Ed Davie MPH responds to last week's claims by the Prime Minister of a 'sick note culture' which 'over-medicalises the everyday worries of life'👇
🗨️ Claims of 'sick note culture' by the Government distract from the real causes of mental ill health, says Ed Davie MPH in our latest blog: centreformentalhealth.org.uk/sick-note-cult…
