Our research shows that the more times a child is absent from school, the greater the probability that they will experience mental ill health, the authors, from Loughborough university and the ONS, concluded. The study, involving more than a million school-age children in England, found the relationship between absence and mental health was a two-way street, with lengthy absences increasing the likelihood of later hospital treatment.

Nearly 114,000 children were admitted to hospital or taken to A&E in London with serious breathing problems last year due to toxic air pollution.
