New UNICEF report card published

[Guest guest]

Dear Senators,

On Friday the latest UNICEF report on child health inequalities was launched,

comparing the worst off children with the median children across most

European countries (including the UK). The title of RC9 is The children left

behind, which says it all. Thanks to Baroness Massey at the House of Lords

yesterday there was some discussion of the UK situation in relation to

Field's recent proposals and other benefit-related changes going on in

England. The importance of school health came up both in relation to

universal needs and specific groups like looked-after children and young

offenders, but the Parliamentarians have a quaint view that this service is

based on Paediatricians, not School Nurses!

UNICEF's team were brilliant, and I have copied in one of the organisers

Alice , in case you need more details/materials about this

multi-national perspective on childhood.

This Monday Baroness Massey's all-party Parliamentary group for Children

publishes a UK report: Children and Young People in the Youth Justice System.

With special permission, I took a copy to a Home Office meeting yesterday

about anti-social behaviour, where there was much interest. On the cover is a

note that says a lot: " There are no hard to reach young people, only those

who are easy to ignore " ....

Warm regards,

Woody.
