As schools across Scotland return this week, lots of pupils will be excited but it can be nerve-wracking starting a new school, class or year group. Use our 'Transition: This is me' activity to help children see themselves in a positive way. Download 👉

These figures from @younglivesUK are a powerful reminder of what’s at stake. Every child deserves the support to build strong mental health and skills for life. School-based programmes can make a real difference, helping all children, including the most vulnerable, to thrive.
Our State of the Nation report today finds that since before the pandemic, more children are:.🔺living in poverty (4.5m).🔺struggling with mental health (doubled since 2017).🔺in care (+11%) or living in unregistered homes (+500% since 2021). (1/2)
