🎖️Congratulations to Jenny Beck KC and Family Law Advice for the Neurodivergent Community (FLANC), our Innovation Champion - sponsored by @cansford_labs
💡Jenny and FLANC have identified a clear problem and come up with a solution, taking a different approach. #ResAwards24
Abusers are using joint mortgages to economically abuse 750,000 UK women. We are standing with Surviving Economic Abuse @SEAresource in urging the government to set up an economic abuse task force to stop abusers from destroying lives. #LockedIn https://t.co/0jozIccrCr
Well done to @marieclaire for picking up on this critically important issue. Domestic Abuse is a human rights issue. Tackling it, and all VAWG needs to be prioritized by Parliament.

Last year, we published five principles of care for children with complex needs.
The views of young people expressed in our recent report provide further evidence that there is a long way to go before these principles become reality

As a society we are really letting care-experienced young people down. This must be prioritised for fundamental change. The Principles of care provide a solid foundation to do better…..
Our recent report shared experiences from young people in care or who are care experienced, including those who were subject to DoL orders without knowing it.
