A child battling cancer should never have to suffer the loss of opportunity or education. We must ensure no child is left behind during their road to recovery. I am backing the @TeachCancer campaign, whose mission is to provide timely intervention to children with cancer.
@Rachel_deSouza CAYP with Cancer are doubly disadvantaged and losing life chances due to lack of proper statutory protection for their education. That’s why we had to start the @TeachCancer campaign. Would love if you supported it.
@tes@MargaretMulhol2 The @TeachCancer campaign is working to secure statutory protection for CAYP with Cancer. This crass proposal implies remote learning is valueless and serves to penalise CAYP who have had punishing treatment for a terrifying disease. WRONG!
Another hospital we're funding and what a great job this Matron did on TV with me this morning. Making changes to more hospitals around the country. #sophieslegacy
📣 Exciting News! 📣
We're thrilled to announce that we're funding an additional 15 hospitals nationwide to provide meals for parents or carers staying overnight with their children. 🍽️💛.
Stay tuned for more details coming in July! 🌈

PLEASE let the education of children and young people with Cancer receive proper statutory protection from a new government so the inequity hiding in plain sight ends once and for all.
I’m at the House of Lords in support of the #KidsGetCancerToo manifesto by @SKC_UK calling for the new Government to accelerate research into children’s cancers.
Children need kinder, more effective treatments and better access to clinical trials.
