- @Clare_Bracey, our Director of Policy & Campaigns

Proud that in the first lockdown when schools closed, we went free to 500,000 children who registered, to help them through that awful time

BREAKING: PROTECTED CHARACTERISTICS MOTION PASSED as @jemimalaing repeats the words of Precious from @cicc_oldham "Care Exp should be met with compassion, not judgement"

Thank you @cllrcarlyle @Dylan4Compton and all at Plymouth for welcoming me and passing this motion.

[Jemima Laing @jemimalaing]

Thumbs up from @TerryGalloway in the gallery to see this council pass my motion To Treat Care Experience as a Protected Characteristic unanimously. I was very pleased to pay tribute to Terry in my speech - what a brilliant campaigner he is. Thank you for seconding @Dylan4Compton

[Terry Galloway @TerryGalloway]

BREAKING: Youth Council Speak at OLDHAM full council as Protected Characteristics Motion is passed.

Care Experienced People empowered through democracy and using their voice to create systemic change.

This speech is the epitome of this campaign. Care Experienced People empowered through democracy and using their voice to create systemic change.

A complete credit to these care experienced young people, please share far and wide. @OldhamCouncil
@oldhamlabour @coramvoice @NYASServices

If you get 10 mins in your break to watch, reflect, comment and share that would really help get the conversation going.

[Plymouth Virtual School for Children in Care @PlymouthVS]

Looking forward to tomorrow's Annual DT Update at Plymouth Guildhall...really excited for our keynote address from the amazing @jazampawfarr. Places still available, so do please come along.

[Nicola Morgan @nicolamorgan]

Have you got your new edition of Blame My Brain? Are you a UK school and can tweet me a photo of your much-read scruffy old edition and would like a new one FREE? Well, I'm feeling generous so .... (Hint: Also try flattery 😂)

[Cambridgeshire Virtual School @CambsVs]

The BBC Tiny Happy People initiative aims to reduce the ‘word gap’ by supporting carers to help develop their little ones’ vocabulary.
1 in 4 children starting primary school are behind with their level of literacy development, rising to more than 1 in 3 (42%) in some areas.
