For our final report update in our #ChildrenFirst campaign we evidence the economic and social value of arts-based
interventions.

Creative arts must not be marginalised at a time when children need them most.

The arts and creativity can help break the link between a child's background and their life chances. The government must prioritise building a country that works for all children and young people. #ChildrenFirst.

The mental health of young people is declining.

Last year, we highlighted a system under unsustainable pressure, one year on, we need to turn promise into practice.

UK children are dying through poverty.

One year on since our report on rising child poverty, the statistics show the crisis is not only unresolved but worsening.

The autism assessment and support crisis is worsening.

Urgent reform is needed to prevent thousands of autistic children experiencing lifelong adverse outcomes.

Children in the North of England are waiting up to three years longer than those in the south for an autism diagnosis.

I'm lucky enough to have been gifted a hard copy of this, and I'm pleased that it's been made available online for anyone to browse. I think any Mancunian will enjoy the journey down memory lane... and @manchester.ac.uk history.

Well done to all who pulled it together!
