Family hubs are critical in helping families access support and can keep children out of care. Yet the Children Wellbeing and Schools Bill doesn’t mention of these important services – great to see Baroness Blackstone highlighting this issue in House of Lords

As mental health awareness month continues, I met with representatives from the charitable sector who work tirelessly to support young people's mental health. It was lovely to celebrate their successes and share what works as well as some of the challenges as we roll out MHSTs

.Lynn Perry MBE: ā€œWe’re disappointed by this delay. Every week we don’t act, more children are going for days without a hot meal, going another week at school in shoes that don’t fit, or spending seven more nights sleeping in a room covered in black mould.ā€
