The changing workplace: Enabling disability-inclusive hybrid working Work Forum
Cardiff University has released a briefing paper exploring the mental health and wellbeing of children in Wales immediately before and 18 months after the start of the pandemic. Findings from student health and wellbeing surveys include: the percentage of 11- to 16-year-olds reporting elevated symptoms of depression increased from 24% in 2019 to 28% in 2022; the increase was particularly noticeable amongst children in year seven, of whom 21% reported elevated symptoms of depression, compared with 15% in 2019. The report suggests that continued monitoring of indicators is necessary to identify groups who may need support.
