There has been a shocking rise in rates of probable mental disorders among 17-19 year olds. The rate has gone up from 1/10 in 2017 to 1/4 in 2022 post Covid. The need to dramatically boost funding and services for children is clearer than ever.

I’m looking for a school(s) where pupil voice is truly meaningful. Where children genuinely contribute to the direction and development. Primary or Secondary. Any suggestions?

It's concerning schools may have to reduce mental health support – 6.5 million children lack access to school Mental Health Support Teams. Covid-19 & cost-of-living crisis have led to a children’s mental health emergency. We urge Govt to increase funding in the Autumn Statement.
We believe that the most effective way to prevent young people from having a mental health crisis is effective early intervention. That includes more support in schools and in the community, where young people can get support as soon as they notice a problem.
@LDN_VRU ‘s Carol London-Baptiste spoke about their new Inclusive and Nurturing Schools Programme which includes upskilling teachers in better understanding the issues young people are facing and having a more nurturing approach
It is important for #teachers to prioritise their own #mentalhealth and #wellbeing, not only for their own benefit but also that of the whole #school community. ✨
Here are some tips by @BelievePHQ on how teachers can look after their mental health. ✅

There is nothing more joyful than listening to a #school talk about their journey to becoming more #nurturing through a #wholeschoolapproach. It's just pure wonderfulness. Thank you St Crispin's in Thanet for talking to us about your journey at @nurtureuktweets AGM
W/ inflation confirmed at 10.1% it's critical that the govt commits now to uprating benefits with inflation. 4mil UK kids are already below the poverty line. More will join them as families reach breaking point if there isn’t that minimum protection. Govt must not abandon kids.
So excited to finally be able to share this fantastic news! We can't wait to get started and are looking forward to working with 70 schs across 7 London boroughs to develop their whole school approach to #nurture and healthy relationships @nurtureuktweets@TenderUK@LDN_VRU
