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 across the country.
Together, with the support of these organisations, this government will continue to deliver an education system that allows our young people to achieve and thrive.

Now we’ve obtained footage of an autistic pupil being placed in a prone restraint involving five staff in Leeds
One expert says it's “brutal” and “unlawful”

The detention of autistic people and people with a learning disability in locked settings is a national scandal.
As we approach the #GeneralElection we have gathered a snapshot of activity and actions for the next government.

Ivy has Mitochondria Cytopathy. She's joined teenage activity sessions run by @cbfdn and @demelzacharity.
