@childrenssociety.bsky.socialReposted by @tcspolicypractice.bsky.socialYoung people shouldn't have to hit crisis point before they can get help. But that is what we see every day. The Fonagy Review confirms it. That’s why we're calling for community-based, early support centres in all areas of the UK. It’s time to make it available to every young person who needs it.

@childrenssociety.bsky.socialReposted by @tcspolicypractice.bsky.socialYoung people’s voices are at the heart of our work. But how do we consult them in an ethical and meaningful way?
Working with young people, we've developed a resource to support professionals to safely and meaningfully consult them: https://ow.ly/oWZf50ZPzmR

This is great for term time, but children are missing out during school holidays.

@tcspolicypractice.bsky.socialGreat to stand alongside friends at @feedingbritain.org to deliver a clear message to the Prime Minister at 10 Downing Street - no child should go hungry when school gates close.

@childrenssociety.bsky.socialReposted by @tcspolicypractice.bsky.socialChildren aren’t failing to access mental health support. The system is failing to reach them.
Our new report shows why trusted, flexible and inclusive early support must meet children where they are.

@tcspolicypractice.bsky.socialFrom today, all children in England whose households receive Universal Credit are eligible for Free School Meals.
But there's more to do. Unless eligibility rules change, these children will still miss out on support during school holidays.

@childrenssociety.bsky.socialReposted by @tcspolicypractice.bsky.socialNew research has added to the growing concerns about vaping on children's health.
But for some young people, the risks don't stop there.
