It was good to be invited to present oral evidence regarding our MINE research earlier today at The House of Lords. Let’s ensure we maintain a caring education system that listens to the voices of NEET young people! @LeverhulmeTrust

It was an honour to play a small part in the @ICF_Mcr launch and talk about some of the @MINEHud emerging findings earlier today. Lots of our vulnerable to becoming NEET young people are struggling in mainstream education and are ‘labouring to learn’ @LeverhulmeTrust
Today marked the launch of the Institute for Children’s Futures at @ManMetUni . It was great to share our research with other attendees and hear about the aims of @ICF_Mcr to the improve the lives of children, young people and families! @Russell2015Lisa @LeverhulmeTrust

It’s been great working with Indie Education in Tasmania this week to explore different ways to work ‘with’ young people who have struggled with mainstream education. Let’s close the gap!
