Thank you lucy johnston for highlighting the crisis in children & young people's mental health as we reported with N8 Research Partnership Child of the North this week. We need to be ambitious for children's wellbeing & reduce mental health conditions by 50% in 10 years. Centre for Young Lives.

Good to speak with Anna Fazackerley for this important piece The Observer today showing how vulnerable teenagers are being abandoned in a system that is in desperate need of reform. Vulnerable teenagers ‘dumped and abandoned’ in hotels by councils.

One teenager, who lived in a hotel for six months said: “It was full of older men who drink and fight all the time. I called my social worker numerous times, begging her to find me somewhere safe to live. She said there wasn’t anywhere else.” theguardian.com/society/2024/a…

We recommend the work of Mental Health Support Teams should be widened to focus not only on one-to-one support for children with moderate-to-severe mental health problems, but also on peer group support and school-wide prevention strategies, including mental health hubs.

A new report by Child of the North and Centre for Young Lives has called for the national rollout of local child wellbeing surveys like #BeeWell

Today we’re publishing our latest joint report with our partners ⁦Child of the North urging govt to rocket-boost children’s mental health support through schools. 👇👇 centreforyounglives.org.uk/news-centre/ca…

Government must ‘rocket-boost’ mental health support in schools to tackle crisis | Evening Standard standard.co.uk/news/politics/…

The new (unofficial) inclusion tsar Jonny Uttley 🇺🇦 writes for us …

‘… we have created a system of accountability so perverse that some schools see some young people as more valuable to them and others as too difficult to deal with’

Today, Child of the North – led by @N8Research & Health Equity North  – and @CFYoungLives unveils the third in a series of reports on how the Government and Opposition can reset their vision for children to put the life chances of young people at the heart of policy making & delivery.

A disappointing and unambitious response from the Govt to proposals from a well-evidenced cross party Committee of MPs. A missed opportunity that will hold back much-needed change.
