Police are concerned about the amount of resources directed at mental health, and are not always the right agency to help.

Our study aims to understand the nature of police contact with mental health and make recommendations for positive practice.

The preschool years are critical to breaking the cycle of disadvantage and securing the future of the UK

Last year, we highlighted how a third of children were not school ready. New government policies provide hope, but we must work together to ensure that no child is left behind.

A thread👇
The preschool years are critical to breaking the cycle of disadvantage, and securing a healthy future for the UK. The government must prioritise building a country that works for all children and young people. #ChildrenFirst. Featured logos of Child of the North, N8 Research Partnership, Health Equity North and Centre for Young Lives. Last year, we reported a preschool crisis, with a third of children arriving at school without the core skills needed to achieve and thrive. One year on, government policies offer optimism, but we must maintain focus on prevention and ensure no child is left behind. Our practitioner toolkits support schools, child health workers and local authorities to implement expert recommendations. We are calling on the government, and everyone, to put children first. #ChildrenFirst

For week 8 of our #ChildrenFirst campaign, we're talking oral health

New gov policies reflect evidence from Child of the North and @cfyounglives.bsky.social and offer optimism, but there is still much to do

Social inequalities must be addressed so that no child is left behind

Cont. in comments
Tooth decay is the leading cause of hospital admissions for children aged 5 to 9, and those in the North experience poorer oral health. The government must prioritise building a country that works for all children and young people. #ChildrenFirst. Featured logos of Child of the North, N8 Research Partnership, Health Equity North and Centre for Young Lives. Our 2024 report exposed the unacceptable state of children's oral health and offered solutions.
