Today we are feeling gratitude for our partners @HullWomensAid, whose services this year have helped us support a woman who, this time last year, was in the most desperate of circumstances. #ThankYou @PauseOrg @HullCCNews
Quotation from Pause Hull Practice Lead reads: “A Christmas thank you goes to Hull Women’s Aid, who have worked with us to best support one woman we work with. Women’s Aid’s input has been crucial in helping to keep the woman safe in the first instance and start rebuilding her life in the next. We’re very grateful for the partnership”.

“Our perspective is important because we have lived experience of kinship care. Some of us are the third generation to experience care proceedings and navigate kinship placements. We don’t want our children to go through the same negative experiences we have been through.”

Following her statement on children's social care, today I asked @bphillipsonMP whether she would work with @PauseOrg to ensure that no parent should go through having a child taken into care more than once

Our community of practice meet-up today was a powerful day of learning and collaboration. From trauma-informed journalism to pitching Op-Eds and the production process behind documentaries, we explored how to amplify lived experiences and create meaningful media change.
