Petition to Add Mental Health Education to the Mandatory Teaching Curriculum For All Schools in the UK Reaches 197,600: Motion 2 (2018)

Petition to Add Mental Health Education to the Mandatory Teaching Curriculum For All Schools in the UK Reaches 197,600: Motion 2 (2018)

Further to LTB114/2019 issued on 21 February 2019, this is an update report on the above campaign.

The Petition

In 2018 a campaign to have mental health education added to the compulsory curriculum for all schools in the UK was launched on the Change.Org Website.

This online petition centring on the lack of education around mental health being a real and very significant gap in our education system has now reached 197,600 and continues to grow daily.

Key Statistics:

  • One in ten children aged between 5 and 16 years has been diagnosed with/shows signs of a mental health problem, and many continue to have these problems into adulthood.
  • Over half of all mental ill health starts before the age of 14 years, and 75% of this has developed by the age of 18
  • NHS England estimates that poor mental health costs the NHS and society £105 billion a year in England alone.

The statistics are shocking, yet whilst there is a whole subject in the curriculum around our physical health in the form of PE, our young people are left without any knowledge of even the most common mental illnesses.

Not only does this leave them unprepared and vulnerable when it comes to looking out for their own mental health, but also sets the standard that Mental Health is not discussed. This plants a seed of stigma that many carry for their whole lives.

The very serious topic of suicide is frequently not even mentioned as part of schooling, and yet according to the BBC, suicide is the biggest killer of men under the age of 49.

The Petition calls upon those in power for a more extensive plan to better the lives of the nation’s young people.

Campaigning For:

  • Mental Health education becoming mandatory teaching for all schools in the UK without the addition of any exams or homework on this subject.
  • Every child having the ability to access a qualified counsellor through their school. This is something that many workplaces already offer.
  • Every school offering Mental Health training for its staff.

Motion 2 (2018)

In line with the policy established by the carriage of Motion 2 at 2018 CWU Main Conference, submitted by the CWU Disability Conference, calling for Trade Unions to lead the fight in improving access to mental health support for children and to campaign for improved provision for young people’s mental health services, the CWU gave its full support to the campaign petition and associated initiatives.

Since then the response has been incredible and the petition has reached 197,600 signatures at the time of writing. It continues to grow and looks likely to surpass 200,000 signatures in the not too distant future.

A visit was made to Number 10 Downing St at the beginning of November 2018 to officially hand in the petition signatures received by that date, calling on government to make Mental Health Education mandatory teaching in all UK schools and that it be debated in Parliament. The collection of signatures in support of the petition has continued with the aim of reaching 200,000.

Having handed the petition into 10 Downing Street, news is awaited of confirmation that the subject will be debated in Parliament and when. To keep the pressure on to bring about change, lobbying of MPs has continued to get more politicians to join the campaign.  This has resulted in widespread support from politicians across the political spectrum, from all parties; this petition is now supported by MPs from Labour, Green, Lib.Dem, SNP, Plaid Cymru and Conservative Parties.

Mental Health Foundation 

The Mental Health Foundation has now agreed to support the campaign cause and are in talks about how a joined up campaign can be organised to make change happen.

Department of Education and Government Proposals

Since starting this petition the Department of Education lead by the Minister have put forward initial outline details of how to make Mental Health Education a part of their compulsory curriculum. These reforms were subject to a public consultation which received a large response at the end of 2018 and subsequently a government response to the consultation outcome was published indicating what government wants to do to help children and young people with their mental health. The plans outlined would, in summary involve;

  • A designated, trained, mental health lead in every school and college who is responsible for the school’s approach to mental health, giving advice, overseeing help and support to pupils and carrying out a Mental Health First Aid Role.
  • Consider how children and young people should learn about mental health in school.
  • Set up Mental health support teams working with schools and colleges. These will be trained staff linked to groups of schools and colleges. They will offer individual and group help to young people with mild to moderate mental health issues including anxiety, low mood and behavioural difficulties. These teams will work with the designated mental health leads and provide a link with more specialist mental health services. Mental health support teams will be the link between the NHS and schools. They will work alongside other people who provide mental health support including; school nurses, educational psychologists, school counsellors, voluntary and community organisations, social workers.
  • Reduce the time it takes to get treatment from children and young people’s mental health services. Some of the areas with new mental health support teams will try out ways of bringing this time to 4 weeks (quicker for young people who need very urgent help).
  • Set up a new national partnership to improve mental health services for young people aged 16 to 25.
  • Improve the understanding of mental health – working with the Children’s Commissioner and the Chief Medical Officer to produce a report on the impact that technology has on children and young people’s mental health.
  • Carry out research in how to best to support families who need more help and support with the parents or their children’s mental health.
  • Carry our research in how to prevent mental health problems, bringing different mental health experts together to look at how mental health problems can be prevented. The group of experts will consider the best evidence and look at where more needs to be done on how to prevent mental health problems.

Ofsted (Office for Standards in Education)

As support for this campaign continues to grow, another vital government organisation is now taking action. Ofsted, who monitor school standards are updating their regulatory inspection framework to also assess levels of mental health support in schools. This new framework could come into effect from September 2019, following consultation on this before the details are finalised. An Ofsted statement was issued stating; “We agree that mental health and well-being are important issues, which is why children’s personal development will be one of the four judgements proposed for the new Education Inspection Framework.”  This is a major step forward in changing the culture in schools to support young people in their mental health. It should also take some of the pressure off schools to succeed on grades alone.

Welsh Assembly Petitions Committee 

The Welsh Assembly Petitions Committee is considering a petition to, “Add Mental Health Education to the mandatory teaching curriculum for all schools in Wales” as part of the upcoming Wales education reforms. This is another step forward which could mean Wales joins England as the second UK country to act on this cause. 2000 petition signatures have been received to date. The Minister’s letter in response stated that; “’To ensure greater support for mental health in schools the Welsh Government announced in September 2017, £1.4million jointly from the health and education budgets to pilot Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) in-reach into schools across six local authority areas (three health boards), spanning two academic years until summer 2020. Pending the outcome of evaluation we will consider the merits, or otherwise, of rolling out the programme more widely across Wales, in either its existing or an amended form.” Only 5,000 signatures are needed on the Wales focused petition to secure a debate in the Welsh Assembly. Every signature counts even if you don’t live in Wales and it only takes a few seconds so please add your signature at: https://www.mentalpodcast.co.uk/wales-petition

Conclusion

Thank you to all of you who have signed, shared and talked about this petition. Together we have shown that mental health is a growing concern and the lack of education around it must be addressed now. By teaching children that mental illness can be talked about freely and without judgement, they will be more understanding of others and themselves. This will break down stigma, empower them to speak up when they need help and be better understood when doing so. The reforms are in reach. This is our chance to make sure they definitely go through and are extensive enough to improve the lives of our nation’s children.

Lastly we’re nearly at 200,000 signatures so keep sharing. Together we can hold those in power to account on mental health education. To sign the UK wide petition to help bring us one step closer to making these requests a reality, thus helping safeguard the health of generations to come, go to:-

ELECTION OF NEC AND INDUSTRIAL EXECUTIVE (IE) – NOMINATION ARRANGEMENTS

ELECTION OF NEC AND INDUSTRIAL EXECUTIVE (IE) – NOMINATION ARRANGEMENTS

Since the opening of the nomination period for the above CWU National Representative positions on 21st May 2019 we have received several telephone enquiries from branches seeking further clarification in respect of the nomination arrangements for the above National Elections.

Whilst the entitlement to nominate is included in the Election regulations (see LTB 296/19) and additional election arrangements is included in the Election Guidelines which were distributed along with the regulations, we thought it may be helpful to branches to provide some further guidance on the nomination arrangements which is detailed below for your information.

However branches should note that in essence the nomination arrangements are the same as those successfully operated in previous NEC and IE elections (2017) although it has been necessary to incorporate some changes as a result of the restructuring of the NEC which has resulted in additional seats being subject to election.

As in 2017 further information in relation to member voting entitlement on each contested ballot will also be published at the close of the nomination period and prior to the dispatch of ballot papers.

 

Nomination Forms  

Please note that in respect of the distribution of nomination forms the arrangements being used in 2019 are exactly the same as those used in 2017.

These being:

Postal Constituency

Branches will need to request Postal Constituency NEC and Industrial Executive nomination forms from CWU HQ. Branches will also need to stipulate which particular NEC or Industrial Executive forms they are requesting. This is important as there is now a distinction to certain positions in respect of their entitlement to automatically sit on both the NEC and the Industrial Executive.

Further information on this is contained further in this correspondence.

TFS Constituency

As in previous NEC elections the nomination forms for the TFS NEC and IE positions are distributed to branches. This took place on 20thMay 2019. Therefore if you have yet to receive the nomination forms relevant to your branch then please contact the SDGS department at CWU HQ for duplicate copies.

Branches should note that whilst all Branches will have received nomination forms for all NEC positions some branches, depending on your branch industrial membership, will only receive the TFSE Industrial Executive forms pertinent to your branch membership.

Further information on this is contained further in this correspondence.

Health & Safety Fines Increase – Sentencing Council Impact Assessment

Health & Safety Fines Increase – Sentencing Council Impact Assessment

The introduction of new Health and Safety Fines guidelines by the Sentencing Council in 2016 has been evaluated in a recently published ‘Impact Assessment’ from the Sentencing Council for England and Wales.

The Sentencing Council for England and Wales was set up to promote greater transparency and consistency in sentencing, whilst maintaining the independence of the judiciary. The primary role of the Council is to issue guidelines on sentencing which the courts, judiciary and criminal justice professionals must follow unless it is in the interests of justice not to do so. It also aims to increase public understanding of sentencing. The Sentencing Council is an independent, non-departmental public body of the Ministry of Justice and replaced the Sentencing Guidelines Council and the Sentencing Advisory Panel in April 2010. The Council also has responsibility for monitoring the use of its guidelines and assessing the impact of guidelines on sentencing practice.

The 2016 Health and Safety Offences guidelines resulted in an expected increase in fines for large organisations sentenced for health and safety offences. However there were also some unanticipated changes, according to the recent impact assessment from the Sentencing Council.

The Council found that in a 16-month pre-guidelines period, the mean (average) fine was £40,500 and the median (midpoint) was £12,000. In a 16-month post-guidelines period, these figures increased to £221,700 and £60,000 respectively – a 500% plus increase.

In the pre-guidelines period, around two-thirds of organisations received a fine of under £20,000 and only 17% received a fine of £60,000 or more. In the post-guidelines period, these proportions changed to 31% and 51% respectively.

The impact assessment also found an increase in fines for smaller organisations and individuals sentenced for health and safety offences, and a change in the use of some sentence types for individuals.

Fines imposed on organisations sentenced for corporate manslaughter have also increased since the guidelines came into force. The Sentencing Guidelines Council issued a steps based definitive guideline, effective from 1 February 2016, for sentencing the offence of corporate manslaughter. The recommendations of the guideline are based on the size and turnover of the organisations with a starting fine of £300,000 and a no limit maximum. Despite 25 convictions under the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act (CMCHA) 2007 over the first 10 years of it being in force 2007-17, none have been of a large organisation and with fines linked to turn-over the fines have ranged from £100,000 to £1.2 Million. The operation of the guidelines is subject to a review and consideration as to whether any further revisions are necessary.

In conclusion, Health and Safety fines of one million pounds or above have become unexceptional nowadays and rightly so. An analysis of the Health and Safety Executive’s (HSE) enforcement statistics for last year has revealed the high level of fines companies now ‘routinely’ receive for health and safety breaches together with confirmation of the upward trend in the level of health and safety fines, imposed by both the Magistrates and Crown Courts. HSE data shows a total of 45 cases in 2017/18 where a fine of over £500,000 was imposed, with the largest single fine being £3m.  There were 20 cases with fines exceeding £1m imposed by the UK’s criminal courts for the 12 month period to 31 October 2018.

JOINT STATEMENT BETWEEN ROYAL MAIL LOGISTICS AND THE CWU – PROFESSIONAL DRIVERS DIGITAL TACHOGRAPH CARD DOWNLOAD FREQUENCY

JOINT STATEMENT BETWEEN ROYAL MAIL LOGISTICS AND THE CWU – PROFESSIONAL DRIVERS DIGITAL TACHOGRAPH CARD DOWNLOAD FREQUENCY

Branches and representatives will be aware that every driver who operates any ‘in-scope’ vehicle (over 3.5 tonnes) is legally required to accurately record their activities, retain records and produce them on demand to transport authorities.

As part of this process the driver possesses a digital tachograph card, which must be inserted into the vehicle tachograph head at the beginning of each driver’s duty and removed at the end. The software will then record all the drivers’ activities.

The department was recently approached by Logistics in relation to standardising the approach to be adopted for Professional Drivers downloading their Digital Tachograph Cards. The business’ position was that there was concern as different approaches in relation to this activity were being adopted.

Following discussions it has therefore been jointly agreed that going forward in order to ensure all drivers are compliant with legislation, Royal Mail and Agency drivers must now download their drivers’ card (digital tachograph card) at the start of their duty, before vehicle keys are issued.

A Joint Statement has therefore been concluded, which is attached for information.

The change in policy from an end of shift download is designed to standardise the process across the fleet and is not being introduced as, or will be used as, a disciplinary tool or for day to day performance management processes. Equally, it will not be used to enhance the ability of managers, on the evidence available, to take disciplinary action.

The new policy will be introduced from Monday 3rd June 2019 and further communications will be sent out via Logistic comms and shared with the ADC’s to assist with the change of policy. 

It has been agreed that the change of policy will be jointly reviewed after three months with the Network Working Group to monitor the impact of the change.

Any enquiries in relation to this LTB should be addressed to Davie Robertson, Assistant Secretary, email: dwyatt@cwu.org or shayman@cwu.org quoting reference number: 202.15

National Terms of Reference – Uniform Trial Panther Discovery Female Fit (Sizes 2-7) and Vegan Trainer

National Terms of Reference – Uniform Trial Panther Discovery Female Fit (Sizes 2-7) and Vegan Trainer

 

Dear Colleagues,

 

Branches will be aware of the current developments and improvements in relation to female gender specific uniform and that the Outdoor Department continues to hold discussions with Royal Mail on further options and opportunities in regards to female footwear.

 

In line with these further discussions and following initial positive feedback, which also includes feedback received from delegates at both the CWU Women’s and Annual Conference, it has been agreed to trial the Panther Discovery Trainer which is based on a female fit (sizes 2-7).

 

The Discovery Trainer is also a vegan option as the footwear is made without any animal ingredients or by-products; there are around 300 applications each year by employees for such vegan footwear.

 

For the purpose of the trial, 1k pairs of the Panther Discovery Trainer have been ordered (500 in sizes 2-7 and 500 sizes 7-13). The Panther Discovery Trainer will be made available on request in line with the normal uniform ordering arrangements for footwear.

 

The trial will take place from June 2019 and will run for a period of 12 weeks, with a joint review in August on progress and developments. A Copy of the trial Terms of Reference is attached.

 

We have also built into the trial TOR the necessary CWU involvement which includes H&S Representatives. Additionally, the trial is also being supported by the Sub Group of female CWU colleagues whilst also taking into full account feedback from those wearing the footwear.

 

Any enquires as to the content of this LTB should be directed to the Outdoor Department, reference 500, email address: outdoorsecretary@cwu.org.

CBRE PAY ISSUES

CBRE PAY ISSUES 

The CWU is aware of a number of pay issues with this month’s salaries which has affected our members that work for CBRE.

Following representation we have received the following report from CBRE.

  • Emergency Tax – It appears that colleagues have been put onto an emergency tax code by HMRC.  CBRE have stated the following

. …both BTFS and CBRE submitted the correct documentation, at the correct time, to the HMRC. But, in some cases, the way that this information has been processed by the HMRC has caused a misalignment of dates on the records that has resulted in colleagues appearing as a starter at CBRE prior to them being a leaver from BTFS, which would make CBRE looking like a second employer; hence the basic rate / emergency tax codes. Tax code changes from the HRMC are compulsory and automatically imported in to the payroll as per HMRC regulations.

I can also confirm that CBRE have not changed their name to Norland Managed Services as some of you may have been informed by HMRC, this actually a previous name for CBRE and in light of this feedback payroll are working with HMRC to make sure that HMRC advisor information is correctly updated to reflect this.

What you need to do

…it’s really important that you check your payslip (see the A-Z guide for information on how to do this) and if you believe that you have had an incorrect change of your tax code this month you will need to contact the HMRC Employees helpline on 0300 200 3300. Opening times are Monday to Friday: 8am to 8pm; Saturday: 8am to 4pm; Sunday: 9am to 5pm and closed bank holidays.

 Only you can do this as your tax code is personal to you and the HMRC will only discuss this with you. Have your National Insurance number with you when you phone and quote CBRE PAYE Reference – 846/R108. They will have notes on file regarding this situation and will be able to deal with your query very quickly and efficiently to make the necessary changes to rectify this for next month.

  • Overtime Payments – It has been reported that a number of members have not been paid overtime that is owed.  CBRE are advising to email BTPayrollQueries@cbre.com or call 020 7871 9100 and ask for Payroll to discuss these on an individual basis.

If unable to resolve then this will need to be escalated via the Branch to my office.

  • Broadband Compensation  – A number of reports have indicated that compensation has not been processed in the May salaries. CBRE have stated that  everyone has received 2 months payments (April and May).  This is shown on the payslip split over the Gross pay and Adjustments.  It has been confirmed that all those eligible have received the £80 or £60 accordingly.

The CWU fully appreciates that this has caused a great deal of concern and that there may be individuals that are seriously financially impacted as a result of these pay anomalies.  CBRE have stated that they are currently reviewing options on how they can support colleagues in this situation.  The CWU will continue to press CBRE as a matter of urgency to do everything they can to assist people that require financial support.

We will update branches again as soon as further information becomes available.

Any queries should be addressed to Sally Bridge sabridge@cwu.org

Yours sincerely
