A shocking number of anti-depressant prescriptions for children has been revealed. It has been said that 1,572 infants were prescribed anti-depressants to stabilise their moods between 2015 and 2019, which is a cause for concern.

This is an astonishing statistic considering that the NHS guidance recommends not prescribing under-18’s anti-depressants. Whilst this kind of medication can be vital for those who need it, it is concerning to learn so much use of the drug is taking place for children.

Whilst medical advice must always take precedence, we must not end up in a situation where there is an over-reliance on such medication that could have an adverse effect on children. We have seen such instances where an over-reliance on prescriptions has caused widespread problems, and this is a situation that must be avoided at all costs.

Tending to a farm in the countryside sounds like an idyllic lifestyle for some: driving tractors on open fields, or herding sheep in the summer breeze. Unfortunately, in practice, working in the agriculture sector is full of dangers that can cause serious injury and even death. Most of these events are accidental and highly preventable, but the demanding nature of farming means working with industrial machines and unpredictable animals that can cause serious injuries.

We therefore ask the question: is farming the most dangerous job in Britain? If it is, what can we do to improve the situation?

There has been some mixed press about the effect that the personal injury reforms last year have had on the insurance industry. The legal reforms last year have resulted in accident victims now having to lose some of their compensation whilst the insurers pay a fraction of the fees that they used to pay.

Some lawyers are not advising people correctly…

Have you been told that you won’t get 100% compensation because of law changes from April 2013? Are you instead facing a massive 25% deduction from your payout because the solicitor you have spoken to says you can’t get 100% compensation anymore?

Well read on – because in reality, it may not be as bad for you as you might have thought…

I could of course be bias and say that we are! But to be fair, I could back up exactly why we may well be the best injury lawyer for you.

In the good old days (which was before the massive legal reforms that took place in April 2013) it was all about the benefits of the service that we could offer for people – i.e. how we go the extra mile. But due to the legal reforms, most lawyers can no longer afford to offer people 100% compensation agreements. So for many, it’s about chasing the best offer, which is usually the lowest deduction.

Why won’t lawyers offer you 100%?
