I’m grateful to @markaustintv and @SkyNews for giving me the opportunity to share my thoughts about the shocking death of Sara Sharif. I also wanted to talk about the changes we need to make to tighten up our child protection systems and properly resource children’s social care
I absolutely agree with @Rachel_deSouza
I’ve been horrified that Sara’s father said he “legally punished” her. Children must have the same legal protection from assault that adults have.
The forthcoming Child Wellbeing Bill is a chance to right this wrong
Very proud moment for us today - launching our new service in Newham that has been designed with and for local young people - so they can get the right support, in the right place at the right time
Imagine a safe space, where young people can walk in and get support without having long wait times. Today, we’re launching Time for young people, Newham – our new emotional wellbeing support space, offering free help for children and young people, whatever’s on their mind.
So exciting to see our billboard in Leeds! Take a look if you’re near & please sign our petition: millions of people face hunger & hardship, we’re calling on party leaders to commit to an Essentials Guarantee in Universal Credit. https://t.co/9fFTvji6pj @TrussellTrust @jrf_uk
No matter the outcome today, the @lionesses have again defied stereotypes and made history - showing what determination, passion and teamwork can achieve. An inspiration to all! 🙌 💙 #FIFAWWC
Saddened to hear that Michael Parkinson has died. A truly brilliant broadcaster and wonderful interviewer. He was very much part of Saturday nights growing up: Parkinson then Match Of The Day. RIP Parky.
Good luck to everyone getting their results today. No matter what your results are, be proud of yourself. Remember, you are not defined by numbers on a piece of paper. Even if it might not feel like it right now, there's so much hope in your future. #ResultsDay
Getting results is really stressful, no matter the outcome. To support young people on the big day,
📣 Give them space to talk about their feelings
🧡 Remind them that they are so much more than their results
🎈Celebrate their successes beyond their grades

People are more likely to care about an issue if they understand it. 💭
They’re more likely to support action and change if they see how and why a problem happens, and what could be done to solve it.
That's why explanation is our friend.
When explaining, try to:
The Government committed to end child immigration detention in 2010 and put it into law.
Now they’re proposing to bring it back - any child who arrives in the UK will be detained, locked out of claiming asylum, and denied the protection/safety they need. #IllegalMigrationBill
The #IllegalMigrationBill explained - what would happen to a child like Mina?
If this bill becomes a law without amendments, we will be closing the door for children seeking help. They'll be locked out of claiming #asylum and denied the protection and support they need.
Ahead of discussions of the Illegal Migration Bill in the House of Lords today, starting at 11, we're exploring what the bill looks like in practice. What would happen to children like Mina, Ezra, Amira and Jamal?

If your stomach doesn’t churn at the sight of that barge knowing humans will be warehoused on it for no reason other than their country of birth, instead of just making a decision on their claim & letting them get on with their lives, there’s something seriously wrong with you.
This barge has no place in an asylum accommodation system that should treat people with dignity and allow them to settle in communities
The Government must listen to the community & refugee organisations and scrap this ridiculous plan #CommunitiesNotCamps
