The solutions are clear, poverty is toxic to our mental health, and some of us never get a reprieve. It’s time for government to act now @RishiSunak & @trussliz you have the chance to change lives and make the biggest impact on mental health for a century, do the right thing 👇🏼

Mental health services need to recognise that complexity of challenges does not make a young person 'hard to reach’ - instead, the right offer, involving autonomy and choice for the young person, can make a real difference to their lives. https://t.co/jlgFIw9qli (10/10)

(1/2) One in four schools using passive physical intervention said they did not always record this according to new report by @EHRC.
Restraint in schools must be monitored on par with exclusions to protect children’s rights.
