Tomorrow at 10am, we will continue our inquiry into reading for pleasure among children and young people, exploring what could help reverse its decline with @Literacy_Trust, @Booktrust, @readingagency, @csjthinktank, @BDAdyslexia and children's author @onichum

Too many children are left with the lifelong impacts of experiencing domestic abuse, struggling to access the help they need.

These new insights from @FoundationsWW today are really welcome and mark a turning point in understanding how we can support child victims to recover.

Ahead of the Violence Against Women and Girls (#VAWG) strategy, Children & Families Minister @JoshMacAlister has welcomed the latest evidence from our #REACHplan on what works to support child victims of #DomesticAbuse. Read the new report: https://t.co/ZVPm6gGVZo

[Alex Davies-Jones MP @AlexDaviesJones]

Domestic abuse can have a horrific impact on children, which is why this is such an important announcement from Foundations today.

This is a vital step towards ensuring that parents and child victims get the support they need and deserve.

⚡️ Plus an energetic drinks reception, with a call to keep children at the heart of the agenda from @jocasebourne, powerful testimony from @JoshDeanMP and @NDIronsMP, and a barnstorming speech from the indomitable Hilary Armstrong on doing more to support vulnerable families.

Last night, we rounded off our first day at #Lab25 with a packed room for an insightful chat between @bphillipsonMP and @annelongfield on the Education Secretary’s reflections on the last year, ambitions for the future, and how we can give all children the best start in life 🌟

[Tom Hunter @_tomjhunter]

Fantastic to kick off #Lab25 with Early Education Minister Liv Bailey, for an insightful discussion on driving quality and access to support for parents across the country, so that children can thrive 🛝✨

And all the more exciting to be hosting with our friends at @nesta_uk!

[Tom Hunter @_tomjhunter]

And to round off our #Lab25 programme, we'll be joined by @lucianaberger, Hilary Armstrong & @RealSamWhite to unpack the PM's speech and explore how a mission-driven government can harness the power of evidence to deliver for the country 👉 https://t.co/ZQsZfpjmvs

Yesterday I was on BBC Radio Scotland to discuss survey results that showed two thirds of girls changed their daily behaviour due to sexual harassment. A man then texted in to say that schoolgirls shouldn’t wear short skirts if they don’t want to be harassed. Unbelievable.

Quite the packed programme for our second year at party conference 👇

And we’ve got the whole new cast of Team DfE across our events, including a nice chat with @bphillipsonMP ✨

You won’t wanna miss us at #LPC25 🌹

This weekend, we’re heading to Liverpool for #Lab25, where we’ll be hosting sessions on children's social care, parenting & family support, and the importance of evidence-based policy and practice for children and families.

Here’s what we’re up to 👇 https://t.co/xQfA5bYCxj

@DominicPenna Made up for you , fantastic news - congrats Dom, well deserved 🎉

[Tom Hunter @_tomjhunter]

@John_Stepek @LouisaClarence A recent example is Family Group Conferences (FGCs) - originated in NZ, started being used over here, and were tested by @FoundationsWW to see if they reduced care entry and saved ££. They’re now a feature of the new Children’s Wellbeing & Schools Bill! https://t.co/UsMNdbNouL

[Anne Longfield @annelongfield]

Great article @RSylvester1 on the special needs reforms that are leading the way.

Great to see so many familiar faces at our annual summer reception last night, and to hear from @StephenMorganMP.

So much passion, experience and expertise all in one place - with all of us driving forward the ambition to improve the lives of vulnerable children and families.

[Foundations @FoundationsWW]

We were thrilled to host Education Minister @StephenMorganMP and friends from across the sector, local services, and national policymaking yesterday at our annual summer drinks reception with @CfYoungLives.
