    Opinion

    • | CYP Now
Prime Minister Theresa May devoted her first speech of 2017 to her vision of a "shared society" and in particular to mental health. May promised to use the power of government to transform the way we deal with mental illness not just in our hospitals, "but in our classrooms, at work and in our communities". But of course there was a catch. No new money.

I can imagine that for a lot of people, being gay in 2016 is no big deal. Many of the legal battles have been won and social attitudes have certainly changed.

DCSs need backing to weather perfect storm

    Opinion

Upon first glance, the findings from CYP Now's analysis of the latest trends on the shape of directors of children's services portfolios makes for encouraging reading (analysis pp8-12). Turnover of DCS positions has fallen from an eye-watering one in three at July 2013 to one in four this year; vacancy rates and interim positions have also fallen; and the number of DCSs who now also have responsibility for at least one additional department has stayed static after climbing for the past four years.
