Should we really be measuring awareness one child's death at a time?
We need urgent understanding of #PansPandasHour & sudden-onset neuropsychiatric conditions.🧠💛

I’ll keep sharing this — awareness of #PansPandasHour is more than clinical knowledge, it’s duty, safeguarding & doing right by kids. Is your #SEND team confident on signs? 👀

🚨 While awareness #PansPandasHour is rising, there is STILL insufficient urgency in policy & funding. Our kids deserve rapid diagnosis, treatment,+specialist support. Will the Lords champion a national strategy?
