I’ve been in this job long enough, but our finding @jrf_uk that 1/3rd of primary schools and nearly half of GP surgeries have set up food banks to support their users really shocked me. This cannot go on 👇

When I was campaigning to be the next @LSChildrenMayor I wrote to the King and sent him a copy of my manifesto. And he read it 😊. Thank you Your Majesty for a lovely response. Get well soon 👑 @RoyalFamily #BuckinghamPalace

Exclusive: 55 homeless children have died in temporary accommodation in the last 4 years.
Data from @NCMD_England, taken from official reviews of over 10,000 child deaths, shows 42 were babies under 1.
The govt says the findings are "completely shocking" itv.com/news/2024-03-04/excl…

Another article that made me feel ( oh god ) optimistic. Note the rate of exclusions in the super strict academy system versus what this school is achieving here. Incredible. theguardian.com/education/20…

New analysis of Welsh administrative data out today provides firm evidence of intergenerational experience of care. A proportion of care experienced girls and women do lose their own children to public care and adoption➡️Read here: shorturl.at/oFIQ6

Since 2013 we have raised awareness of care leavers at Christmas, throughout UK. .No care leaver should feel alone on Christmas Day. There are 34 Christmas Dinners this year. Our work is not finished. Please share the love.

An incredible article, showing the hidden heroics of people at the frontline of the cost of living crisis. Thanks @JenWilliams_FT, and Glyn Potts, his team and 1000s of others doing their best. Incomes are simply too low so we need an #essentialsguarantee: jrf.org.uk/report/guarantee-…
A year ago, I started following how the cost of living crisis was playing out at an Oldham school, checking in with the fantastic @NewmanRC_Head every few weeks. I ended up learning a lot about the British state, and its education system, to boot.
