Is surveillance culture fuelling child cyberstalking?
Children being drawn into a world of cyberstalking need to be educated about healthy relationships in the digital age, says Safeguarding Minister Jess Phillips.
Her comments came in response to a BBC investigation that found some children as young as 10 and 11 had been reported to police forces in England for suspected cyberstalking offences.
Phillips told the BBC: "We really need to be out there educating young people on what healthy relationships look like and that will be part of the government's violence against women and girls’ strategy."
New Pharmacy Service for Patients
Positive news for Young people following a record pharmacy funding deal which will see new services for patients including:
- making the ‘morning-after pill’ available free of charge at pharmacies on the NHS for the first time ever
- offering patients suffering depression convenient support at pharmacies when they are prescribed antidepressants, to boost mental health support in the community
- cutting red tape and bureaucracy to give patients easier access to consultations, with more of the pharmacy team able to deliver a wider number of services such as medicines and prescriptions advice, Pharmacy First services and carrying out blood pressure checks
- boosting financial incentives for pharmacists to identify patients with undiagnosed high blood pressure and take pressure off GPs
- boosting funding for medicine supply so patients have better access to the medicines prescribed for them. This includes writing off the historic debt linked to dispensing activity during the pandemic and increasing fees linked to dispensing prescriptions
