A review of building regulations set up after the Grenfell tragedy will not propose an outright ban on flammable cladding, the BBC understands.

Dame Judith Hackitt, the engineer asked to review building rules by ministers, is instead likely to call for a new system for managing building safety.

Architects, building firms and Grenfell survivors had backed a ban on using combustible materials in construction.

Seventy-one people died in the fire in the west London tower block last June.

Following the fire, cladding on hundreds of buildings failed safety tests.

On Wednesday, the government announced a £400m operation to remove dangerous cladding from tower blocks owned by councils and housing associations.

Dame Judith's independent review, commissioned by the government, has been looking into regulations around the design, construction and management of buildings in relation to fire safety.

In her final report, to be published on Thursday morning, Dame Judith - who used to chair the Health and Safety Executive - is expected to stop short of a complete ban on so-called combustible cladding.

But it is understood her report will find building regulations are complex, confusing and not fit for purpose, the BBC's home affairs correspondent Tom Symonds said.

She will propose a tighter system of safety management throughout the life of a building in England, which would be led by the construction industry.

According to Tom Symonds, the approach may be criticised by those who believe the Grenfell fire happened because regulations were too confusing and weak to stop construction companies exploiting them to cut costs.

Dame Judith's appointment to lead the review had been met with some criticism due to her former role as director of the Energy Saving Trust. The organisation promotes insulation containing a foam known as polyisocyanurate (PIR), blamed for fuelling the fire at Grenfell.

But the government said Dame Judith was "an independent and authoritative voice".

Her review is aimed at making sure similar events do not happen in the future. It is separate to the judge-led inquiry into the Grenfell fire, which will start taking evidence on 21 May.

Dame Judith's interim report, published in December last year, found building regulations were leaving room for shortcuts.

She said she was "shocked" by some of the practices she had seen and a "cultural change" was needed. The fire "should not have happened in our country in the 21st century", she added.

A large proportion of the people living in buildings close to Grenfell Tower show signs of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), six months after the tragedy, which killed 71 people, the NHS says.

Caused by very stressful or distressing events, PTSD can lead to nightmares and flashbacks, with sufferers often feeling isolated, irritable and guilty.

So far, about 1,000 people have been screened for symptoms, with the number of PTSD sufferers at the highest end of a range of expectations after comparing it to other recent tragedies such as terror attacks.

Overall, the NHS believes that as many as 11,000 people - including survivors, witnesses and the bereaved - could be suffering from the psychological impact of the fire, which took many hours to be brought under control.

It anticipates that thousands of these people will need therapy.

A special team of more than 50 therapists and 20 outreach workers has been established, called the Grenfell Health and Wellbeing Service, in what the NHS says is its largest ever mental health response to a traumatic event.

More than 500 people have already attended sessions with NHS therapists to treat symptoms of anxiety and PTSD. So far, 150 children have completed or are having continuing therapy.

Potent symbol

"I'm not coping," one woman told an outreach worker.

She lives in a flat in what is known as the walkways - right next to the burnt-out shell of Grenfell Tower, a potent and ever-present symbol of the fire.

Her eyes filling with tears, she said she was having flashbacks and was struggling to sleep but had begun to get therapy, which was helping.

"I thought I would cope, but I can't because the tower is still there. It's a big reminder, which you can't forget."

The outreach work involves teams of NHS staff going door to door, working outwards from Grenfell Tower.

They ask each person how they are feeling and look for signs of trauma. If appropriate, they complete an on-the-spot PTSD questionnaire.

They call it "street-screening", and so far staff have screened about 1,000 people living close to the tower.

The rates of PTSD picked up by the screening range from 75% of those screened in the buildings nearest the tower to 40% in buildings a little further away.

But rates vary considerably from building to building.

The plan is to continue street-screening outwards from the tower until the PTSD rate drops.

But there are dozens of high-rise buildings, some miles away from Grenfell Tower, that had a clear line of sight to the burning building, and whose residents may also have been affected.

Increasingly anxious

The teams have also screened survivors from Grenfell Tower, most of whom are still living in hotels. I joined two outreach workers as they spoke to one survivor.

"Feeling down, depressed, or helpless?"

"I'm feeling down, not depressed, but down."

"Is that every day, every other day, or for several days?"

"It's every day, yes."

"Feeling irritable, or angry?"

"Yes."

"Difficulty concentrating?"

"Yes."

The man lived on the 13th floor, with his wife, son and daughter. The whole family survived.

The other family members are getting counselling, but he felt he didn't need help. Six months on, he's now changed his mind.

The family owned a leasehold flat in the tower, and he says the continuing process of seeking compensation from Kensington and Chelsea Council has made him feel increasingly anxious.

"I tried to prove to myself that I can manage without [counselling], but I think it's the right time now to ask for help.

"I've felt a bit sad, and I don't want to give up just because I'm not well. I have the feeling it's better to give up - that's the reason I'm going to accept some help."

You can listen to Andrew Bomford's reports for World at One programme on the BBC Radio 4 website here and here.

Kensington and Chelsea Council says it is doing all it can to ensure survivors and local residents have access to the mental health support they need.

'Unique model'

The outreach team is dealing with numerous logistical challenges, including incomplete lists of survivors living in temporary accommodation and frequently changing council key-workers who are meant to be the main point of contact with survivors.

The team has even had to provide therapy to key-workers who have themselves become traumatised by their work.

It's all been an unusual challenge for the NHS.

"I think the outreach model is completely unique," said Emma Kennedy, from the Grenfell Health and Wellbeing Service.

"Seeking out people, bringing them in, and walking through the journey of therapy with them, hasn't been tried in any other service in terms of disaster response."

People who score highly enough under the street-screening tool for PTSD or anxiety are referred to therapists for counselling, often a course of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) or another talking therapy.

Therapist Claire Gibson is treating a number of survivors.

She said many had not been able to process their memories of what had happened on the night of the fire, because of the extreme stress they had been under as they had tried to escape the burning building.

"The memory evolves like a multi-sensory video which can be re-triggered at any time."

Safe environment

"People might start to get clips of what they saw, what they heard - even smelt, tasted, felt - on that night coming back to them in the months and years afterwards, and that can be very distressing."

One Grenfell resident now experiences those feelings whenever he goes downstairs.

"They actually smell smoke, and have the same fear they felt that night."

Treating PTSD of this type involves a process known as reliving - having the patient talk through these experiences in minute detail in order to update the memory in a safe environment.

I joined one patient, who asked to remain anonymous, during a CBT session. He witnessed the fire and lost three close family members in it.

"When doing therapy, you're basically writing down what you've got in your head, but you're also re-writing what you've got in your head in a way that you're able to deal with," he said.

"It most definitely put things into perspective for me, in terms of filtering the important thoughts and using them to move forward with my life."

Many people living in the area say the constant physical presence of the gutted shell of the tower itself triggers flashbacks.

Alastair Bailey, a consultant clinical psychologist who runs the adult part of the service, says it's a very difficult reminder for people.

"There's been a lot of support in the local community, and that's a really helpful thing.

"But there's another thing which is not so helpful in terms of developing trauma, and that's called rumination, which is going over what's happened to you again and again. Both things have occurred."

The service expects to continue offering therapy for years to come, as PTSD can sometimes take years to develop.

About £7m has been budgeted for the NHS health response this year, and up to £10m will be needed next year.

More than 200 victims of the Grenfell Tower disaster have been referred to the NHS for treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder.

The figures released by Kensington and Chelsea Council show 220, or two thirds (66 per cent), of the 330 people screened have been referred for specialist treatment.

The council said it has invested £2.5m to ensure there is a network of support with outreach teams visiting families and residents in the community and hotels.

It comes as the Government admitted a "low" number of those who lost their homes in the blaze have been rehoused.

The Central Northwest London NHS Foundation Trust, which also has outreach teams going to hotels, along with GPs, have referred 439 people for specialist mental health treatment.

But Steven Pretty, who lived near the 24-storey west London high-rise, where at least 80 people died, said nobody has approached him to offer support after he moved out of his flat following the June 14 blaze.

"Forty yards from my living room window was a tower block that was all on fire... windows were just falling out, the crashing noises, the screams, the shouts," he told 5 News.

"I couldn't do anything that night and that's painful and I've been carrying that for the last eight, nine weeks."

Mr Pretty, 40, is now reaching out for support, and has spoken about his experience to encourage others to do the same.

"I put it off so many weeks because I just felt ashamed of myself, guilt, shock, disturbed, displaced," he said.

"I need to talk about that night."

Councillor Kim Taylor-Smith, deputy leader of Kensington and Chelsea Council, described the Grenfell tragedy as a "humanitarian crisis on a unique scale".

"There is a network of support available, including proactive work within the community and schools, a 24 NHS helpline and emotional support services provided by local community groups along with the Samaritans," she told 5 News.

The continuing mental trauma felt by those who survived the fire was revealed as Sajid Javid said the number of residents temporarily or permanently rehoused was "still low".

The Communities Secretary added he does not want to see anyone living in emergency accommodation for "any longer than necessary" but said families should not be "forced to move or make snap decisions simply so I have better numbers to report" in the Commons.

Mr Javid, providing an update to MPs following the summer recess, also called on private sector owners of tower blocks to submit cladding samples for testing.

More than 200 children are suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in the wake of the Grenfell Tower fire, NHS figures show.

Mental health assessments carried out on 269 children living in or near the tower revealed 214 needed treatment. Some 146 of these are now receiving care, while 63 have completed their therapy.

A further 24 families of children referred to mental health services refused to allow them to be assessed, while 10 infants and adolescents failed to turn up for the tests, according to the data.

​NHS psychologists said they expect the number of children known to be suffering with mental health problems due to the fire to grow.

So far, experts have been screening children referred by a teacher, counsellor or parent for trauma symptoms.

But from March they will try to identify children suffering severe psychological effects of the disaster by going into the three schools nearest Grenfell Tower and screening them directly.

"It's like an outbreak of head lice in the area - if you see a few people coming into the pharmacy because of head lice, you think: maybe we should send a nit nurse into the school," Dr Jai Adhyaru, who is leading the Grenfell Trauma Service for Children and Adolescents, told The Independent.

"We're seeing a steady referral flow and we want to see if it's better to go into the school and check for ourselves."

She said it was "difficult to know" how many children needed help processing the traumatic events of 14 June 2017. Experts at the Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust have estimated up to 10,000 people have been psychologically affected by the fire, which killed 71 people.

Alongside screening - which involves a questionnaire designed to detect symptoms of trauma - secondary school pupils will have health and wellbeing lessons where they will learn about the symptoms of PTSD.

The parents of primary school children, meanwhile, will be invited to coffee mornings aimed at reducing stigma around mental health.

"The thought of your child talking to a stranger about God knows what can be threatening because there's a degree of mistrust in the community about formal agencies - it's understandable in these circumstances," Dr Adhyaru said.

She added the pilot would only start in the three schools closest to Grenfell Tower because they suffered the most disruption after the blaze.

But, if the team had more resources, it would roll out the scheme across the borough and into neighbouring areas, she said, since students at schools several miles away saw the building engulfed in flames and knew people who died in the blaze.

She said if children complained regularly about stomach aches or headaches, had trouble sleeping or wanted to sleep excessively, it could be a sign they were traumatised.

"Children have described how their tummy starts to hurt when they think about [the fire], so they try not to think about it," she said.

"Trying not to think about something is not helpful because it will keep popping back."

Dr Adhyaru said she had also assessed a number of infants who had suddenly reverted into earlier stages of childhood after the fire.

"In the little ones we see what we call regressive behaviour, children moving back into an earlier developmental stage: thumb-sucking, bed-wetting, or [they are] clingy and don't want to leave their parents," she said.

"It can slow their developmental progress if they stay stuck in one of those regressive states, which can then cause distress."

Meanwhile, older children tend to have smells or images pop into their heads. "Quite a few teenagers have told me they feel like they're going mad," she said.

Children were being psychologically affected by seeing their parents and other adults around them experience distress.

The symptoms were also being exacerbated by instability in their living arrangements, she said. Eight months on from the deadly fire, only 60 out of 209 households have moved into permanent accommodation, although 175 have now accepted the offer of a new home.

"If people don't know where they're living or children don't know which schools they're going to it can be quite anxiety provoking," she said.

Their trauma was compounded by seeing adults around them in distress, she said.

"They've also seen adults in a way that perhaps isn't part of the normal childhood experience. Children see adults as a different type of person. So it's very unsettling when they see their teachers, their parents and their neighbours impacted on.

"The NHS response has been to obviously screen children, but we can't do that without checking in on how their parents and carers are doing as well."

Mental health teams have now contacted 5,300 adults through outreach work, which largely involves door-knocking. More than 1,200 have been referred for treatment, 797 of whom have had their first session.

Access to social media was also compounding the trauma children suffered, she said.

"I don't have the stomach to listen to a phone call made by someone inside the tower in their last moments of life. I don't really want to see the footage. But kids are curious and they're on social media. So they're exposed to this imagery. It is unprecedented to have so much footage. It's really raw and of course that's going to play on their minds.

"That's been an additional component in that disaster - that there's so much material out there."

Elizabeth Campbell, leader of Kensington and Chelsea Council, said: "It is hugely important that we spot the early warning signs in our children and make sure they have the help that they need.

"Many people will have a degree of trauma after the Grenfell Tower tragedy, and it is important that they recognise it and seek assistance."
