Psychiatrists will get compulsory training in how to promote mental wellbeing in the use of media to children and families, Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has said. Hunt’s pledge came in a letter to the coroner who investigated the death of Tallulah Wilson, a 15-year-old who took her own life in 2012 and was said by her mother to have been living in a “toxic digital world”. In addition, the government is to fund a research project to study how the internet can trigger suicidal behaviour and how to prevent it, reports the Standard.

The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) has welcomed the publication of draft legislation on standardised cigarette packaging as a "significant milestone in public health policy". Professor Mitch Blair, officer for health promotion at the RCPCH, said: "Standardised packaging has the potential to reduce the shocking figure of 200,000 young people who take up smoking each year. The promise of draft legislation... will not only improve child health, but in doing so will improve the overall health of the nation."
