What a system. David Lammy spends years carefully building relationships with key people, including in the Trump Administraion, now for nothing. Yvette Cooper spends a year getting to grips with complex immigration policy, for what? Shabana Mahmood has the benefit of 14 months grappling with the prisons crisis, now someone else has to start from scratch. These sort of reshuffles make very little sense.

Data shows students from poor backgrounds are considerably behind peers in educational attainment; yet 'Pupil Premium' ends at 16. Nacro are continuing to call for Pupil Premium for post-16’s: disadvantage doesn't stop at 16 but funding does.

In 2020, the govt of which Jenrick was part lauded its strategic efforts on race disparity in criminal justice thru "revised practice guidance" such as on reports containing sentencing proposals.
Depressing how quickly a progressive consensus has gone.

There is a growing case for reform of how and under what circumstances people get recalled to prison. Nearly 7 out of ten people released are recalled - breeding hopelessness, overwhelming prisons, including many who have not committed any further crime. https://t.co/BHoWao0bXX

Funding women's centres is fundamental in tackling the prison crisis and, more importantly, providing services for women and girls in the community, avoiding further disruption and trauma.

‘Charities are not a peripheral nice-to-have…’

Thank you, @pmdfoster, for highlighting the stark reality of the NIC rise for charities in the @FT.
This is about frontline services, jobs, and the communities that depend on them.

[Centre for Justice Innovation @CJInnovation]

Very positive news that @DavidGauke is encouraged by pilots of Intensive Supervision Courts (ISC) after visiting the excellent @Anawim_BCW ISC, which we helped to set up, and has suggested the model could be rolled out across England and Wales.

Do we need more people with lived experience to help make policies?
