Dear Jeremy Hunt, this is what you said in 2016. If you truly believe this, why didn’t you mention mental health once in today’s new budget?

No new mental health support teams in schools.
No funding for early mental health support hubs.
No mention of reducing waiting times.…

PROUD MOMENT! Last year whilst presenting at CarnegieMHWBCommunity Annual Conference, we were approached by a lovely lady called Vi. Vi asked us to write a case study about our 21st Century Child initiative for a book she was working on. Today we received a copy and it is brilliant! 🤩

Head Student, Grace attended Birmingham Cathedral on Saturday to represent the school at a very special event...
