The media has a big role to play in how the public sees mental health problems. We urge them to report on this case sensitively and accurately, avoiding mental health stereotypes. Stereotypes lead to increased stigma and discrimination - and this makes it harder for the people who need support to get it. 8/8

Violence connected to a lack of mental health support is often preventable. As a society we need to better understand the causes of violence, and the ways we can prevent it. 7/8

Mental health problems affect millions of people. The majority of those people are more likely to experience harm than cause it. 6/8

Some important thoughts from us to end on ⬇ 5/8

What needs to change? People with mental health problems need a joined-up, holistic approach to their care and support. To make this happen, the government will need to invest more in community mental health services. Services that intervene early and provide ongoing support. And we'll need to see strong local partnerships between services, including carers and communities. 4/8

What happens now? NHS England, Nottinghamshire Healthcare Foundation Trust and Integrated Care Systems have accepted the report's recommendations. They're taking urgent next steps. And NHS England's independent homicide review will provide more scrutiny into Calocane's care and may highlight other areas for improvement. 3/8

This is an incredibly difficult time for the loved ones of Barnaby Webber, Grace O’Malley-Kumar and Ian Coates. They're very much in our thoughts. 2/8

Today, the Care Quality Commission (CQC) released its report on Valdo Calocane’s mental health care. It finds that he didn't get the support and follow up care he needed. And that this is down to system-wide failings. 1/8 🧵

Fix the algorithms, tech bros! You are putting personal profit before public safety. Social media today is like men, women, boys, and girls everywhere smoking 30 a day. With the added twist that each drag makes us angrier. This is just one place it leads: gov.uk/government/pub…

The new government's aim to halve violence against women in a decade is a necessary one. For those who experience it, it's like domestic terrorism. And like terrorism, it's communities that are best placed to call it out. For men, it's standing against a rising tide of misogyny.

It is great to see more women than ever in the Commons, with all they will bring to legislating and their constituencies. But spare prayers for them, and others, as they will now face unspeakable levels of online hostility. We have to heal this poison between us @WhiteRibbon_UK
