Following the success of A Dirty Story, the Neats and Grots are back in this humorous tale of mouldy drains and rubbish tips. The Grots run wild, the Neats get even and the angels fear to tread! Whether readers are neatniks with a burning passion for truth and justice, or filthy little monsters bent on proving that life is meant to be greasy, this story will entertain and delight.

An Even Dirtier Story

A Dirty Story brings together the inhabitants of the towns of Neat and Grot. As their names suggest, the inhabitants of Neat take pride in their appearance and keep tidy, well ordered houses. In contrast, the town of Grot is untidy, dirty and inhabited by scruffy people. On the eve of the annual Cleanest Town Competition, the Neats and the Grots take what they consider to be necessary measures to secure success. The outcome is both amusing and educational for children.

An edited collection of papers published by YoungMinds and funded by Health Education England. With 1 in 3 adult mental health conditions related directly to adverse childhood experiences, it is vital that we understand the impact that adversity and trauma can have on the mental health and wellbeing of young people, and how we can strengthen resilience and support recovery. Addressing Adversity presents evidence, insight, direction and case studies for commissioners, providers and practitioners in order to stimulate further growth in adversity and trauma-informed care, and spark innovation and good practice across England. Section 1: Understanding adversity, trauma and resilience includes evidence and analysis of the impact that adverse childhood experiences and trauma have on children and young people’s mental health and wider outcomes across the lifecourse. Section 2: Addressing childhood adversity and trauma includes insights from the NHS in England, organisations and clinicians working with children and young people who have experienced forms of adversity and trauma. Section 3: Emerging good practice includes insight, case studies and working examples of adversity and trauma-informed service models being developed across England. The collection ends with an agenda for change, calling on all Directors of Public Health, commissioners and providers to make adversity and trauma-informed care a priority in their locality.
