Hear more from Laura Lamb, Director of Workforce, Education and Standards.

The clock is ticking ⏰

Soon 500,000+ more children will get Free School Meals 👏 A hot, healthy school dinner - every day.

That’s major - but it's not Free School Meals for All.

Let's set the table for every child in primary school ➡️ https://t.co/CEzvNUxywF

[General Federation of Trade Unions @GFTU1]

.@AsylumMatters, SWU, and BASW urge social workers to oppose changes to support for children and families without secure immigration status: https://t.co/g8AUqMfxq8

The consultation is open until June 4 and Asylum Matters has developed a step-by-step guide for responding to it.

[lan Byrne MP @IanByrneMP]

Well done @DaveCallowSWU
I look forward to working with you and the @SWU_UK over the next few months in Parliament.

[No Child Left Behind @NoChildBehindUK]

Affordable, healthy food shouldn’t be a luxury. But families across the country are feeling the squeeze.

Free School Meals for All would ensure no child is left out of a hot, healthy meal every day, no exceptions.

London's done it. Why are children in the rest of England still waiting?

It’s time for the Government to #DeliverTheDinners ⏰

[Social Workers Union @SWU_UK]

⏰ Still time to register for the @BASW_UK & @AsylumMatters webinar this Friday on the government's "family returns” proposals.

These plans would have a profound impact on social work services and on people living without secure immigration status.

Fuel poverty isn't just about struggling to afford heating in winter - it means being more exposed to dangerous temperatures in summer 🥵

With extreme heat becoming more normal, we need to distribute energy fairly so we can all afford to keep cool #EnergyForAll #MakeGreenFair

[No Child Left Behind @NoChildBehindUK]

"When millions of children were going hungry, what did you do about it? I know what side I am on."

Thank you @IanByrneMP for consistently standing up for our communities and supporting Free School Meals for All.

No parent should have to skip meals to feed their children, and no child in modern Britain should be going hungry.
