@UCLPublicPolicy It was such a pleasure to contribute to this work on how the Safer Streets Mission could be delivered. This government is over a year into its term, and serious and long-term action is needed if they are to deliver on their ambitions to halve knife crime and VAWG
❤️It was an absolute privilege to work with colleagues @UKYouth and @YouthEndowFund on year 1 of the Summer Jobs programme, and we are thrilled that this will be delivered again this year!

Interesting thoughts from @jonpayates. We’ve argued for much more work to understand if and how social media impacts on youth violence

Two questions I get asked a lot as head of the Youth Endowment Fund is “does social media cause violence?” and “what do we do about it?” So, here’s my attempt at some answers. (1/10)
