Young people moving into work have asked for clearer, easy to use jobs boards - this looks like a good example for youth work opportunities

Young people have told us it is not 'business as usual' when starting out on your career - covid has affected both confidence and limited experience. This looks like a great initiative to address those issues.

Sick of employers saying you don't have enough experience for a job? 🤦

When we spoke to children about their experiences of covid they told us how much they had missed practical lessons and being able to do more than just sit in front of a screen. This looks like a lot of fun! #covidrecovery

[WEST @WestEndSchools]

Egg shop drop! How would you save an egg from the 4m fall from the top of the @S4ALearningHubs double decker learning bus? Our children are enjoying a forces & materials themed workshop as part of our #STEMtastic week.

[WEST @WestEndSchools]

Our year 6 #STEMtastic week includes a trip to @Discovery_Mus. 379 children will have the opportunity to explore the exhibits and take part in a number of exciting STEM workshops. Thanks to the brilliant learning team @Discovery_Mus we are having a #STEMtastic time!

[VOICES project @voicesprojectNE]

Great to see some of those children we spoke to in focus groups being able to get out and about again, seeing friends and taking part in special events #covidrecovery

[WEST @WestEndSchools]

We are incredibly proud of our children. This is such a fantastic opportunity and wonderful for them to be part of something so special. 🎼

[VOICES project @voicesprojectNE]

Thanks to @bishopcollege for all that they have done with us - so many great insights into life with covid! The food looks scrummy!

[Children North East @ChildrenNE]

Another slice anyone? We 💙-ed heading to afternoon tea at @FifteasTearoom with students from @bishopcollege! Our trip was a thank you for their support for the @voicesprojectNE, where they shared their experiences of living through the pandemic. 👏

The #ChildoftheNorth report which we launched in Parliament this week, looks at a wide range of factors, from child poverty to children in care, to build up a picture of the inequalities facing children growing up in the North. Read more https://t.co/bLz40ZuUbw
