I’ve been in this job long enough, but our finding @jrf_uk that 1/3rd of primary schools and nearly half of GP surgeries have set up food banks to support their users really shocked me. This cannot go on 👇

@MandyLSimard @Rainmaker1973 It’s run by local cavers. They say going down is free, you have to pay to come back up

[Leeds ChildrensMayor @LSChildrenMayor]

When I was campaigning to be the next @LSChildrenMayor I wrote to the King and sent him a copy of my manifesto. And he read it 😊. Thank you Your Majesty for a lovely response. Get well soon 👑 @RoyalFamily #BuckinghamPalace

[Daniel Hewitt @DanielHewittITV]

Exclusive: 55 homeless children have died in temporary accommodation in the last 4 years.

Data from @NCMD_England, taken from official reviews of over 10,000 child deaths, shows 42 were babies under 1.

The govt says the findings are "completely shocking" https://t.co/drTN3xEO9J

[Sarah Phelps @PhelpsieSarah]

Another article that made me feel ( oh god ) optimistic. Note the rate of exclusions in the super strict academy system versus what this school is achieving here. Incredible. https://t.co/R9MKv3bcSc

This is appalling we need to stop treating children who are here to seek refuge as less worthy of care than other children @AlexandraCapit8 @ThroughCareCov @NStirling4

[Centre for Child and Family Justice Research @ChildFamJustice]

New analysis of Welsh administrative data out today provides firm evidence of intergenerational experience of care. A proportion of care experienced girls and women do lose their own children to public care and adoption➡️Read here: https://t.co/PMgmp8w7Pm

A big thank you to everyone working in local government through Christmas and the holidays❤️

@MarkAdamSmith Thanks to @MarkAdamSmith , @ProfDonnaHall and @aglaird for a brilliant session. Would recommend to all.

[Darryl Freeman (He/him) @darrylf_]

We’re serious about wanting to attract quality candidates to join our permanent team and I’m pleased to say that our Welcome payment for social workers and team managers has just increased to £5000.

Of course it’s not just about money, we’re great people to work with too 😉

[John Maynard @JohnCPMaynard]

@faisalislam Why are you just repeating what politicians say, rather than critically analysing and providing bigger picture? Doesn’t UK spend a relatively low amount on pensions, aren’t UK pensions some of the lowest? Surely what is unsustained is poverty for older people?

[Channel 4 News @Channel4News]

"It's heartbreaking."

In an exclusive interview, Femi Koleoso of the Mercury Prize winning Ezra Collective speaks to @MinnieStephC4 about the impact of cuts to youth clubs.

'Child of the North report ought to be a cause for national outrage'

'Choose your parents' takes its place alongside 'don't be poor' as advice for younger people confronting today's wealth and income inequality.

Policy change is possible.
