A million useful things...
Health Education England and the Chartered Institute of Library & Information Professionals have launched a joint campaign for decisions in the healthcare sector to be fully evidence-based. Every day more than a million decisions are made that have a profound and lasting impact on people's lives and which influence the quality of healthcare and the cost of services. The#milliondecisions campaign calls for everyone involved in policy making and care delivery to use the skills of librarians and knowledge specialists in meeting their obligations under the Health and Social Care Act 2012.
Things published about SEND...
The Royal College of Speech & Language Therapists has published a new report regarding the special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) reforms in England. The report outlines the findings of a SEND survey, commissioned by the RCSLT, regarding members’ experiences of the SEND reforms, associated successes, challenges and areas for improvement.
The report highlights mixed progress in implementation and worrying trends. RCSLT members have said that:
- children without EHC plans are not getting the support that they need, and there has been a refocus of resources to support children with EHC plans, which has often been to the detriment of children without EHC plans.
- joint commissioning arrangements are patchy, and in some cases speech and language therapy services are not being commissioned for children and young people aged 0-2 and 18-25.
- engagement with the EHC planning process, including attending planning meetings, continues to be a challenge.
Encouragingly, the survey has also highlighted areas of positive practice that can be built upon including the involvement of parent and carers in decision-making and partnership working. Over the coming months the RCSLT will be taking forward policy recommendations from the report to help improve support for children and young people with speech, language and communication needs (SLCN).
Read an executive summary of the report.
Things published about fathers...
The Centre for Mental Health has published Fatherhood: the impact of fathers on children’s mental health. This briefing highlights the distinct role fathers can play in nurturing good mental health in their children. It explores the direct and indirect impact of fathers, from positive supervision and language development, to emotionally buffering mother and child against environmental stresses.
