Humbled to win trying to do some good for young people. Being undefended as an adult starts from being properly defended as a child

With more young people struggling with their mental health as a result of the pandemic, we need to make early support available to every young person.
Simon P Walker retweeted
The Government need to invest in more early mental health support for young people.
Interestingly, it's often not doing something new but knowing when to do something familiar for pupils #veil #whatstudentsneed
Remind pupils they can contact tutors or trusted staff through email. Train tutors to notice when their tutees’ mood, routine, or attitude, changes and ask “How are you finding things at the moment?”

Pupils may be anxious about what they've lost in the pandemic. Validate those feelings but explain how you'll be putting support into place. Don’t simply focus on exam years.

Because of the outstanding leadership shown by @RealGeoffBarton and the work the @ASCL_UK have done throughout this pandemic I decided to join them...in contrast other teaching unions, on a number of issues, have been absent, timid, or lacking imagination.

Our data has revealed that 8/10 secondary age girls will now hide their needs from teachers, a 30% rise since the pandemic. Boys have also seen a 20% rise. A crisis of hidden concerns will develop unless teachers are helped to see behind the curtain #safeguarding #UKedtech #VEIL

'It used to be that most pupils with challenging emotional and behavioural difficulties were difficult to miss'
But what do we do when suffering is hidden? @simonw762 explains

Throughout my 20s I battled depression. Today I want to say THANK YOU to those who helped me through love, guidance and wisdom. Especially Jo, my wife and co-founder of STEER. Three decades on, Jo and I are trying to help young people navigate their own road into adulthood.
Has @HMC_Org missed a good news story? Sky News say that state schools are now reducing self-harm by 20% using technology pioneered in British independent schools

Dear @theresa_may if you truly want to track and improve children's mental health in schools please contact me. We already do so for 30,000+children aged 8-18. Their schools will show you the impact. Happy to share how it can be done. Yrs Dr Simon Walker
