As Children's Commissioner, I have previously called for consistent identifier for children. This would improve data-sharing across education, health, and social care and ensure families & children can access the right support when they need it. childrenscommissioner.gov.uk/?p=34276

As part of #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek, I am sharing a blog by Dr Julia Clements, the Principal Educational Psychologist of Place2Be, who offers offers tips and advice for parents and carers supporting their children’s mental health. childrenscommissioner.gov.uk/blog/supportin…

🧵Nearly one million children were referred for specialist mental health treatment in 2022-23 – that’s 1 in 10 of the child population in England. This is a crisis & children are being treated as second class citizens when it comes to mental health 1/5 independent.co.uk/news/uk/childr…

Children are passionate about making change - but only 1 in 5 feel like those in power listen. I'm taking their voices, views & experiences to politicians & policymakers with this challenge: listen, and act on what children are telling you. #TheBigAmbition childrenscommissioner.gov.uk/blog/one-milli…

1/🧵PhD update!!! I haven’t finished my thesis as arrival of our third little Skirrow boy earlier this year has *somewhat* delayed me 🤣 But he has helped me get some PhD papers out (yay!)

Excellent 🧵 by Leonora Merry (while still on holiday!) about why (if) Darzi does say how bad children’s healthcare is, he is quite right to do so, as Nuffield Trust & others such as Ronny Cheung Dougal Hargreaves RCPCH @SAPHNAsharonOBE National Children's Bureau & many other have been saying

We are pleased to see our evidence reflected in the #Darzi Review and welcome the long overdue focus on children's health and the workforce. We now call for swift action to address the specific challenges identified in the review. Read our response: rcpch.ac.uk/news-events/ne…
