Nothing is more important than childhood, and a child getting their needs met in a timely manner. It’s taking too long for children to get ECHPs. We need radical reform for the SEND system, so it is as ambitious for children as they are for themselves.

Although research suggests that up to 60% of children in foster, adoptive or kinship placements have experienced or been exposed to #domestic #abuse prior to coming into care, this has received little attention in policy and practice.

Notwithstanding the fact that I thought my opinion of Johnson could not be lower - if we are fortunate he's only ruined the country for a generation - this is a quite extraordinary interview. https://t.co/eq9bIWdyRw

Everything that is wrong with the marketisation and retail procurement of social care, in one horrendous decision.

Everything. Including the fact that *yet again* children pay the price

In November 2021, 27 people died while crossing the Channel. We obtained records from the weeks prior to the tragedy, suggesting the UK coastguard “effectively ignored” 19 reports of small boats facing danger. Read our investigation with @ObserverUK ⬇️

🧵 Last year, food banks in our network distributed almost 3 million emergency food parcels.

❗ More than a million of these were for children.
❗ This is the most parcels our network have ever distributed in a year.
❗ It's a 120% increase compared to 5 years ago.

[🌈Updates from ADCS @ADCStweets]

ADCS has today published a statement on the government's Illegal Migration Bill and its impact on vulnerable children 👇

[Nick Hoare @UKdemocrat]

The government has sold the Oxford Vaccination production unit to an American Company for £200m Built in 2014 to respond to Ebola and absolutely essential during Covid, we will not have it for the next pandemic. It would cost just £5m a year to keep open. Another Conservative Party benefical financial deal for somebody or just their normal incompetence? @RishiSunak, could somebody please look at this and explain why.

[lemn sissay OBE FRSL @lemnsissay]

What is a children's commissioner for if not to push the education department - the employer - by calling them out on their commitment to serve the most vulnerable of all children?

For many Black kinship carers, identity and belonging are especially important. Having strong roots in a Black family support network can provide a stable foundation to grow and thrive despite the enduring legacies of racism and colonialism.
