To our own personal detriment, we committed to 10 yrs to seek #CountylinesCCE change.
It's been gruelling.
In year 7 & honestly speaking, just about holding on.
Change feels completely unachievable.
So catch this conference in case it's the first & last. https://t.co/1yYWmdtGO1

- #ChildFirst training for all police

So grateful to hear these words spoken at an event like this, with people who have an influence over systems that must change. We need to move away from individual responsibility and look at systems and contexts to make any impact on #seriousyouthviolence. Thank you @BCWLindsay

1. Individual responsibility v. system change
2. Reducing violence is not just a policing issue
3. How culturally sensitive is your workforce?
4. We must adapt
It was so lovely to be reunited with some of my favourite people yesterday. What I've learnt from them over the years has been immeasurable and in these dark times their energy and hugs offered some much needed light
