Life back on track after years when he found the pressures of daily life too difficult. He started struggling with his Mental Health aged 15 when stressed by exams. It led to a decade of moving in and out of hospitals. You are used to seeing the same things every day and then once you leave the units and you are going out into the real world, its like, whats going on . Sort of thing. Todays report says daily stresses like finding housing, paying bills and Cost Of Living pressures are tipping too many people into Mental Health crises. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you, too. Shoes off or on . 0ff, please. But the flat that hayden is proudly showing me around has been organised by his Mental Health trust to try to head off the problems that might push him back to hospital. Bathrooms on the left. And well be sitting in the lounge, if thats all right. He can stay here as long as he wants. He also has support if needed. Very tidy and sorted. I cant stress enough, its the greatest support i could ever have. Itjust provides that platform for you to push on and become independent, become strong minded and itjust boosts you, gives you that boost to do what you want to do. His Mental Health trust also has schemes helping with debt and rough sleeping, aimed at preventing people reaching a crisis. It says it is keeping people out of hospital. Whats really important is whats going on in that persons life. If we can treat the person, which takes into account, you know, their social stresses, their accommodation status, their relationship status, all of these things, you know, we often get much better outcomes. Its Preventative Action that the 35 organisations calling for a long term Mental Health strategy say is vital. In england, they point to a 26 rise in people needing Mental Health support over four years, and in the last Year Services have seen 4. 8 million requests for help. The report says as well as improving those services, its essential to tackle poverty and other inequalities. If we do nothing, we will create more illness, more pressure on Mental Health services, more families will struggle, more people will have their lives affected by something which could be prevented. This is really good value for public money. Haydens parents, pat and simon, believe early support services, available whenever needed, would have made a huge difference when he was first struggling. If we won the lottery, wed put money in and make sure there was that out of hours so there could be people that could actually come out. So i think if we had the help and support out there, i dont think it would have been as many years as it took. And Seeing Hayden now settled and in a job has been a huge relief. Ive got my son, and i didnt lose him, when we could have been looking the other way. Hes living his life now. Hes doing the things he wants to do. Itsjust brilliant and you can see the difference in him from what he was before. Yeah, well go roughly around the same time. The government says it is moving further and faster to improve Mental Health services, investing more money and drawing up a strategy for the future. Alison holt, bbc news. Live now to rose mccabe, professor of clinical communication, City University of london. The report says between 2018 and 2022 in england, there was 26 rise in people asking for help with their Mental Health. Why might Early Intervention be difficult to implement . The report emphasises difficult to implement . The report emphasises early difficult to implement . The report emphasises Early Intervention difficult to implement . The report emphasises Early Intervention and you heard the story there of haydn and his family about how his difficulties emerged when he was a younger person. In fact, most Mental Health difficulties and edge three quarters by the age of 2a and half by the age of 14. If we look at Early Intervention and getting the right support for people, we are looking at preventing Mental Health getting worse, people getting into debt, other problems like homelessness, losing their friendships, losing their social support. Thats why Early Intervention is so important. Allisons report mentions the Cost Of Living crisis as being something thatis of living crisis as being something that is a current stress exacerbating Mental Health issues at the moment. I wonder what else you might say about things like social media use, but are causing Mental Health problems for younger people or even just a Health Problems for younger people or evenjust a pandemic Health Problems for younger people or even just a pandemic weve gone through.

I what we know is that the number of referrals to a child and adolescent Mental Health services have increased exponentially since the pandemic and that people are waiting a long time to see Mental Health services. So, we need those Waiting Lists to come down, we need people to be accessing support much earlier, we need support for parents as well because they are managing and supporting young people. So, we need to reduce Waiting Lists, improve the offer of treatment options, extend those to include a wider range of options for young people and we need also out of hours care. So, we need Crisis Options like hayden and his family mentioned, we dontjust need services and working hours, we need weekends, evenings and families and friends are dealing with those crises. We need round the clock, early access and to reduce the waiting times. Early access and to reduce the waiting times. Lots of practical suggestions. Waiting times.

Theres a warning that the number of children missing school in england is now at Crisis Levels and it needs to be tackled with bigger, bolder national measures. A report by a Cross Party Committee of mps found twice as many pupils have been missing a significant amount of school compared to before the pandemic. 0ur Education editor Branwen Jeffreys reports. Its just when parents are in crisis, really, when they call to say theyre having a bad day. Hayley works with parents who are struggling. Shell even pick up their children. Parents are always really grateful for the support, eventually. Sometimes it takes a little while to build up that positive relationship with them. So she goes out around folkestone in the school minibus. It can take many visits to build up that trust. Roxy, yesterday, done pe, i was like, what did you do . She went, oh, it was really good, i done tennis. She really enjoyed it. Kelsey is one of the mums thats turned things around. She was evicted with her two kids, their new flat was two bus rides away, and, struggling with depression, kelsey couldnt always get them to school. It was hard it was mentally draining, physically draining, you just feel like you dont want to get out of bed, you feel really depressed. You keep going, you feel like youre not good enough, you feel like youre not good enough for your children, that you cant do it, but. I felt quite deflated actually. But, yeah, it was hard. How much difference did it make, when you were at your lowest, that the school would come and help pick up the kids . Massive, massive difference. I changed in myself. It gave me more spirit. It helped amazingly big change. Just from doing that one little thing, by accepting the help that thought id feel embarrassed about. Right, youve got everything you need . Water bottles . Kelsey� s now settled in her new home. The children have been moved to a school in the same Academy Group thats much closer, so theyre going in every day. The bus pick ups are less frequent, a helping hand from time to time. What questions do you think that ahmet might have . Schools connect children with learning and their friends but, across england, almost twice as many children have regularly missed school. In primary school, its as much about the challenges that families face. The last few years have left more parents struggling with their Mental Health, with money, and often with poor housing. Weve had a lot of families finding themselves in a situation where theyre either going to be evicted or theyve been placed in temporary accommodation. And temporary accommodation around here isnt. You know, its not sometimes suitable for bringing up a child, making lunchboxes. A bedroom with a sink, sometimes they dont even have bathrooms, their toilet� s down the corridor. Across this group of schools, its the teenagers theyre worried about. They told me theyre increasing support as more families struggle. If youre living in rat infested accommodation, that you are struggling to sleep, youre sharing your room with siblings, youre not able to do homework, you are hungry, you are walking rather than taking the bus to school, all those are what i describe as headwinds for those poorest children to come to school. And it is getting worse. So what does work to stop kids missing school . Here, theyve found its intensive support for families when its most needed. Accept the help, please. Its not embarrassing. Theyre there to help. And if you need it, please accept it. Because its done me and my children a hell of a good, so it will you. That was mother of two kelsey, ending that report by our Education Editor bra nwen jeffreys. Lets speak to seamus murphy, the trust principal and ceo of turner schools, which have several primary and secondary schools across folkestone. Seamus was just in the report we saw.

I think it was alluded to in the. Think it was alluded to in the report by the education correspondent. I think its different at different stages but i think poverty is a key factor. I trust and our schools serve some of the most deprived communities on the south coast. We know that families are battling a range of challenges and we know that there is the Cost Of Living crisis and some of the other things he referred to in an earlier report, Mental Health issues are striking these families probably in greater numbers than in more affluent families. I think the other thing thats worth saying is i think following the pandemic, the social contract which exists between parents and schools has is not broken, has become much more fozzy at the edges. So, i can talk anecdotally about parents who are more likely now to keep children at home if theyve got a cold or they are less worried about the king dentist or doctors appointments during school hours and in many cases those parents who might be thinking in the past of taking a child out on friday to visit relatives, thats increasingly more the case. Its complex, theres a range of factors but we are definitely looking at potentially a lost generation because children who are not attending school do less well. It is very straightforward. It might seem a bit simplistic but why is it so important for children, teenagers, to be attending school on a very regular basis . The teenagers, to be attending school on a very regular basis .

In our own experience across three secondaries suite done our own analysis and those children attending 95 of the time will achieve what we think they will. Those children attending less well, persistently absent, underachieving and i think thats the case Forfamilies Underachieving and i think thats the case for families where, with the case for families where, with the greatest respect, they are not particularly worried about, they got many other things to worry about than necessarily revision or doing homework.

In our context, no and im not an expert on the Fining System but i can talk passionately about finding in the communities that we serve. First, i can give you anecdotal evidence of parents turning up and saying, im taking my child out of school next week, i know youll find me £60, who do i pay . Theyve done a Cost Benefit Analysis and worked out that taking a child on holiday in mid january or during term time, its much cheaper even if you have to pay the fine. 0n the other hand, the parents and families we are finding most often, these families are genuinely in crisis and their ability to repay the fine is pretty limited. And secondly, the administration of fines and process. On the attendance staff, who are 0n the attendance staff, who are working hard to get those families into school and what it also does which i think is the most pernicious element, as it drives a wedge between the support we are trying to provide these families and getting their children in and themselves, because they then see us as authoritarian and punishing them. Whereas what we really trying to do is to get back into school. We are in a a very challenging period. Thank you, seamus murphy. Lets bring you some breaking news a 15 Year Old Girl was stabbed to death in croydon, south london, on wednesday morning, the metropolitan police said. A London AmbulanceService Spokesperson said we were called today at 8 33am to reports of an incident on wellesley road, croydon. We sent a number of resources to the scene, including three ambulance crews, an Incident Response officer, and an advanced paramedic in a car. We also dispatched londons air ambulance. We treated a teenager, but very sadly, despite our best efforts, she died at the scene. Breaking news a 15 Year Old Girl was stabbed to death in croydon, south london. Refugee agencies and human Rights Groups have criticised the Home SecretarySuella Braverman for claiming the International Asylum system is no longer fit for purpose. The un has defended its convention on refugees and said the policy has saved millions of lives. Labour accused ms braverman of giving up on fixing the asylum process. Heres our home editor mark easton. Just a few miles from where the Home Secretary made her speech today, International Powers met in 19114 to debate the idea of universal human rights. But Suella Braverman came to washington to argue that the Refugee Convention that followed doesnt make sense in a world ofjet travel and the internet. It is therefore incumbent upon politicians and thought leaders to ask whether the Refugee Convention and the way it has come to be interpreted through our courts is fit for our modern age or in need of reform. Today, he and his kind are leaving their homes as evacuees. More than 60 Million People were displaced by the Second World War and World Leaders agreed a Refugee Convention promising protection to those who couldnt return to their country of origin because of a Well Founded Fear of persecution. The Home Secretary argues persecution no longer means what was intended. We have created a system of almost infinite supply, incentivising millions of people to try their luck, knowing full well that we have no capacity to meet more than a fraction of the demand. There is undoubtedly a growing global challenge. Over the last 50 years, the number of extra people seeking International Protection each year has increased to more than 10 million, according to the united nations, and the countries which host the most refugees are turkey, 3. 6 million, iran, 3. 4 million, colombia, 2. 5 million. The uk has around 230,000. So, does this mean the current asylum model is broken, or that the need for it is even greater . The guardians of the Refugee Convention and the rights of those seeking asylum are the Un High Commission for refugees. They fear the Home Secretarys intervention may undermine International Consensus on displaced people. I certainly, its something were i concerned about and were always concerned whenever the relevance of the convention is called into question. If the Home Secretarys ideas became reality, what impact would that have on people fleeing persecution . Certainly, more restrictive interpretations of the convention would become extremely risky. The Home Secretary told her us audience Uncontrolled Migration presented an Existential Threat to Western Culture and that the asylum rules were far too generous. We will not be able to sustain an Asylum System if, in effect, simply being gay or a woman or fearful of discrimination in your country of origin is sufficient to qualify for protection. However, research by bbc verify shows that less than 2 of Asylum Seekers to the uk last year included Sexual Orientation as part of their claim, and most of those came from pakistan, bangladesh and nigeria, where same sex relationships are punishable by Life Imprisonment or even death. I think the Home Secretary has totally failed to tackle the tories asylum chaos, so shes ramping up the rhetoric and looking around for someone else to blame. Suella bravermans speech is not about changing uk policy yet but with polls suggesting the tories are likely to lose the next election, her comments will boost her popularity with right wingers, ahead of what some anticipate will be a bitter fight for the soul of the tory party. Mark easton, bbc news. You can buy pretty much anything online these days, but priceless ancient artefacts are usually off the table. That is until last month when valuable items disappeared from the British Museum and turned up on ebay. 0ur correspondent joe inwood has more. Have you come across any priceless antiquities a bronze age earring, a roman bracelet, an egyptian engraving of a Goddess Fighting a four headed snake, or this roman carving of a dolphin . Priceless items like these could have been unwittingly purchased by the public. Their location unknown. And thats what the British Museum is hoping they can find out. Theyve launched this special website to see if the public can help identify some of the 2,000 pieces from their collection that have gone missing. Theyve also told us for the first time exactly what has been lost. Its mostly Pieces Ofjewellery and gems from greece or rome. It all follows the revelation last month that items from the museums collections had turned up for sale on ebay, being sold for a fraction of their true value. An unnamed member of staff was fired, the Director Resigned and a Police Investigation was launched. It was all hugely embarrassing for this british cultural institution. The museum is trying to recover not only its artefacts, but also its reputation. Joe inwood, bbc news. Approval has been granted to develop one of the largest untapped oil and gas fields off shetland. The area is expected to produce 300 Million Barrels of oil. Environmental campaigners had argued the scheme undermined the governments net zero commitments. Rosebank which is about 80 miles west of shetland is one of the largest untapped discoveries in the region. Experts say it contains up to 350 Million Barrels of oil. Production could start in 2026 with extraction continuing until at least 2030. Its thought that around 69,000 barrels of oil could be produced every day. That would equate to around 8 of the uks total output. And there would also be natural gas with around 44 million cubic feet of it produced per day during the projects lifetime. At least 100 people are reported to have been killed in a fire at a Wedding Party in Northern Iraq. People were celebrating in al hamdaniya when fire tore through the venue late on tuesday evening.

Stay with us on bbc world. Hello again. Some of us are already feeling the effects of storm agnes, which has been coming in from the southwest. And its going to continue to push north eastwards through the rest of the day. Its bringing rain, but also very strong winds, gales, even severe gales for some of us. Now, the strongest winds as we go through the rest of the morning into the afternoon will be in areas adjacent to the irish sea. And as the storm pushes north eastwards later, the winds will strengthen across Eastern Scotland and also north east england. So potential for some disruption to travel and also the potential for some damage. A lot of rain coming out of this storm as well as it moves steadily north eastwards. Northern ireland could well have as much as 50mm of rain falling on already saturated ground. Theres the risk of localised flooding. But the south eastern parts of the midlands having a dry day with some sunshine and also the north of scotland not seeing that rain till this evening when storm agnes continues to push northwards, continues to weaken. But it will still be a windy night. But its going to be a very mild night for the time of year, with overnight lows between 13 and 15 degrees. Now, as we head on into tomorrow, heres the remnants of storm agnes pushing into the norwegian sea. The isobars tell their own story. Its going to be windy, particularly in the northern half of the country. This cold front coming into Northern Ireland later will introduce some rain. So, a lot of dry weather to start with as the remnants of storm agnes pushes away. And weve got the Weather Front coming in with some rain to Northern Ireland. The winds could be squally around this through the course of the afternoon as well. Temperatures down a touch on today, 1a to about 20 Degrees North to south. Then as we head on into friday, weve got the remnants of an overnight front taking its patchy rain with it away into the near continent. Some heavy showers in the north and the west, heaviest in northern scotland, but a lot of dry weather, a fair bit of sunshine during the course of friday and temperatures 13 to about 21 degrees. Itll still be windy, though, across the north of scotland. Then as we head on into the weekend, its a bit of a mixture. Therell be showers at times, therell be some longer spells of rain, particularly in the north and the west. But its going to be mild and especially so on sunday for the 1st of october.
