NHS England has published new principles on the use of digital technologies in mental health inpatient settings.
These principles are vague and unenforceable. They don't halt the rollout of tech like Oxevision, and lack regulatory power.

Great advice on Moneybox R4 from @danwhite1972.bsky.social about disability benefits and where and how to get advice on claiming them.
Also, Child Trust Funds and the problems encountered by young people who lack the mental capacity to access them when they turn 18. (Spoiler: you’ll hear from me)

Note the huge outcry over the supposed over-diagnosis of anxiety, depression, ADHD, and autism, yet the complete silence when it comes to labelling increasing numbers of people - hundreds of thousands - with a personality disorder.
