Thank you to the women who shared their stories with us. A mental health practice due to be abolished more than three years ago is on the rise. It had been falling until recently. Rachel said her experience was dehumanising, but saved her life. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

The government said it would ‘fix the broken system’, updating the Mental Health Act and ensuring care is appropriate, proportionate and compassionate. Piece from Miguel Roca, Jonathan Fagg, Lauren Woodhead and I.

Zoe was 16 when she entered the care system. She was moved five times and tells us it left with "this fear of owning too much stuff in case I need to move". Now 21, she doesn't have her own home, and is waiting for suitable social housing. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

She isn't the only one. New government data shows 4,300 young care leavers faced homelessness in 2023-24. That's up 54% from 2018-19, a larger relative rise than seen by all young people. The charity @Become1992 are calling for change.
