Proud of this! A little thing I've been working on with many, many collaborators...
#StartingReception #ReadyForSchool #EarlyYears

[Kindred Squared @KindredSquared]

It has been great to see experts across the #EarlyYears sector coming together to work on a single, shared definition of what being #ReadyForSchool means.

Great information & great support resources – a demonstration that we are stronger together!

The families of those who died in the 1989 Hillsborough disaster have said it is a bitter injustice that no police officer will ever be held accountable for a catalogue of failings set out in the final report of the IOPC after a 14-year investigation https://t.co/8mPaE0Q07N

[Grenfell United @GrenfellUnited]

Walk with us tomorrow, Saturday 14 June for the 8th anniversary.

8 years on. No arrests. No justice.

The tower is a stark reminder of what happened that night but the government has decided it's time to bring it down.

💚

[Grenfell United @GrenfellUnited]

Five days until the 8th anniversary of Grenfell.

Walk with us this Saturday 14 June.

8 years on. No arrests. No justice.

The government wants the Tower out of sight and out of mind. But we won't stop until the criminals are brought to justice.

[Grenfell United @GrenfellUnited]

95 months since 72 people died at Grenfell.

Next month marks 8 years since the fire.

8 years without our loved ones, whilst those responsible walk free.

Our 72 remain forever in our hearts. We won’t stop fighting until we get justice.
