Thank you @munirawilson for asking the Prime Minister if he will confirm the future of the Adoption and Special Guardianship Support Fund as thousands of families wait anxiously. We were disappointed by the answer that appeared to equate the fund to ‘welfare’ @JanetDaby
1 in 3 children are in poverty and its an scandal showing the safety net has been ripped apart. It’s shameful that a rich nation like ours can have millions of children going hungry, living in cold homes where even the basics are a seen as a luxury

Cutting early help and programmes that prevent explotation raises risks and will end up costing more over time. Pressures on council budgets are unsustainable. Another round of national austerity would be a disaster for vulnerable children and families. https://t.co/HR2TOBxkxi

This is a quickly organised meeting for professions working with children and young people in BANES, Bristol, Wiltshire and South Glos to respond to the murder in Bath of a young person. We need to facilitate trauma informed strategies to de-escalate traumatic critical incidents
Connecting being Black to knife crime results in a disproportionate amount of Black men being stopped & searched by the police with the vast amounts of stops leading to no further action (NFA). Think of the trauma that leaves in the community. A thread. (1/6)
It is an act of stupidity not to put £ into supporting children emotionally.
It makes their lives harder. Their bodies are erratic.
It makes your life harder. Their behaviour is erratic.
You spend that £ anyway: Prison, Health, Social Work.
Policymakers: You hold the power.
This is a very dangerous and naive take @CllrDRodwell. Connecting situations of violence affecting young people which has a lot to do with fear and anxiety to a potential punishment of eviction demonstrates a lack of understanding of the issue.

Having worked with children and families - out of school - for 25 years, this is at best shocking. BBC News - Cut parents' benefits over school truancy, suggests Michael Gove

What a fun day! I loved running this event for @Trauma_recovery and speaking alongside the brilliant @_LisaCherry and @semhheadox who were both inspirational and had such great painted nails! 🤣🌺❤️
I've been waiting for this news to emerge. Coercive control exists everywhere in our society. Patriarchy exists everywhere in our society. You never know what is happening in someone's life, in a child's life. https://t.co/Z7dIhZ8asw
