Important to consider the impact this will have on young people's mental health - research suggests families' overall health is better when parents are in work (job quality dependent) so supporting those on long-term sick leave could have a big indirect impact for their children.

Britain has a bigger but sicker workforce than we previously thought. Headline from new @ONS data this morning. 2.8m people not working because of ill health = record high.

@ameliagentleman is such a wonderful writer, weaving together the ties that bind between key injustices that have played out in Britain, that haven't received the same levels of public and political outcry.

2/3 "The sobering lesson from Windrush is that art can spark flashes of public outrage, but it tends to be quite fleeting, and politiciansā enthusiasm for action swiftly wanes once attention moves elsewhere."

3/3 "Itās up to reporters to continue highlighting the gap between the promises made and whatās actually been delivered. In the case of Windrush, that gap remains strikingly wide."

1/3This new report from @fawcettsociety points to some really clear workplace practices that could make a big diff for working parents. My research with families and teens shows flexibility is still crucial & could have a big impact on gender inequality.

2/3 The teenage years are still a really important time for continued input & availability of parents & working hours which mean parents aren't around for their children can have big impacts for children's mental health, leaving them feeling unsupported.

3/3 Given the benefits my families are describing of having regular time together after school & at weekends, it's not surprising that 72% of working mothers view employers who offer family-friendly benefits more positively. Check out health.org.uk/funding-and-paā¦ for more @HealthFdn

It was a fabulous turnout. More people turned up than we could accommodate which shows how much interest there is in the community for this work.
Plus it was people from so many different backgrounds. Brilliantly delivered by the team and had really helpful feedback.

š§µMy dear co-author @pinardinch and I wrote this paper years ago when we were both post-docs @CMES_LUND. After rejections from some media journals (who thought it was an "area" paper, no comments), we found the right place for this paper @newpers_turkey.
