26 h. ago The Guardian view on the dental divide: ministers must brush up their policy as well as children’s teeth | Editorial

Gaps in access to dentists mirror other health inequalities. And ‘golden hellos’ won’t solve the problem on their ownDisadvantaged primary school pupils at the government’s first wave of new breakfast clubs can expect to be trained in toothbrushing, as well as fed. Data showing that a fifth of all five-year-olds in England have experienced tooth decay persuaded ministers to make improved oral health part of the early years and reception class curriculum. But the prevalence of decay is not evenly spread across the country. And research showing how much worse the situation is for children in deprived areas is in line with other findings about widening health inequalities.New analysis from the Local Government Association highlights the differing availability of dental care across council areas – a situation sometimes described as a dental divide. It found no specific correlation between the numbers of NHS dentists and young children with tooth decay. But it adds to a body of...

The Kenyan on the transformative experience of distance running, inspiring the next generation and a ‘beautiful and unique’ Sydney courseEliud Kipchoge knows he has nothing left to prove. The Kenyan running great dominated marathons like no athlete before him after crossing the line first in his debut race in Hamburg in 2013. Kipchoge has since won 14 more marathons including at back-to-back Olympic Games, twice set a world record in the event, and is still the only person to run 42.195km in under two hours.As he passes 40 years of age and his running powers begin to wane, Kipchoge is embarking on an even greater mission – to inspire more people to not only run, but to get themselves to the starting line for the most mentally and physically demanding of events.

6 d. ago Inside the school refusal crisis: how a mother and her daughters survived a broken system

Caro Giles had to home-educate three of her four daughters when they grew so distressed at the prospect of school that they made themselves ill. Why is our approach to education failing so many young people?There are things Caro Giles will never be able to forget. The moment when Emmie, her “shiny bookworm” of a daughter, crouched “wide-eyed with terror” in the footwell of the car to avoid going to school. Or when another daughter ripped out her eyelashes in distress. Or when she had to carry her eldest, Matilda, then 11, out of the house because she was so scared to go outside.These behaviours, Giles believes, were predominantly caused by the experience and prospect of school. Giles, a single mother of four daughters, watched as Matilda endured a miserable two years in primary school before withdrawing her – making her “electively home-educated” in official jargon. Ada, her second eldest, was mostly home-schooled until 2018, when Giles’s marriage ended and her children had to retur...
