7/9 – Children here are criminally responsible at 10 yet human rights standards encourage adoption of a minimum age of criminal responsibility of 14 years of age. Children in the youth justice system are amongst the most vulnerable and marginalised https://t.co/qf2bCbRUpI #AE22

The example set by @BigmacTheKing and his team @HolyCrossBoys with their philosophical approach to education is simply incredible.
If you haven’t watched this, go and take the time….you’ll not regret it and you might just learn something.

100 day social work placement done! Tomorrow I start my new job as a family practitioner in safeguarding while I wait for my final degree results and registration when I will officially be a social worker! The end is in touching distance!
