"Many people grow up taking for granted their parents and family will support them well into adulthood. But many young people leaving the care system enter adulthood without a strong support network, leaving them particularly vulnerable": @JavedKhanCEO https://t.co/JmJGjUcogE

When past & present work worlds collide: Good to see @ELAdvertiser showing how vulnerable children and young people are exploited by criminal gangs. It's vital exploited young people are not criminalised & get support from orgs like @barnardos to help them rebuild their lives💚

[Barnardo's News @BarnardosNews]

This powerful piece by @Jon_King75 @ELAdvertiser shows the impact child criminal exploitation has. Addressing anyone suffering a similar ordeal, the survivor said telling people is "scary, but it’s not as scary as being at the hands of someone like Saif." https://t.co/wtRMhMPe7E

If you don't have a religion, it's important to #TickNoReligion on #Census2021. A lot depends on it! I've taken the @Humanists_UK census pledge - will you? https://t.co/SGnU9wUrfl

“We simply don't have the resources to respond to the demand already on our doorstep let alone what's going to come.” Ahead of #Budget2021 @JavedKhanCEO tells @whiteheadhe @CivilSocietyUK why it's a mistake to not have a new support package for charities https://t.co/rAjAI19Hht

Home schooling is hard enough – but what if you can't afford an electronic device or WiFi? That is the reality for 1m+ schoolchildren. And as Amanda Naylor from @Barnardos explains to @AJListeningPost , it's been tougher for #BAME families. Scroll to 14:35 https://t.co/1mzlOo5feT

New stats show a fall in #FGM cases - but FGM is usually spotted by medical professionals years after the event and during the pandemic there have been fewer routine appointments between women and gynaecologists, obstetricians & midwives. https://t.co/kLtNHYLIvp

We need to talk about the fact that Boris Johnson is calling #NoDealBrexit "a good outcome".
