This coming year will be critical for children's rights, with an election, a new government & a new mandate to improve children's lives. I've set out my priorities for the upcoming year - and my final three years as Children's Commissioner for England childrenscommissioner.gov.uk/blog/business-…

Come and ‘Spring Into Action’ with us at our community fun day and fundraiser at Thimblemill library. Sunday 14 April 2.30-5pm.
Entry is free and pay what you can/make a donation for activities and refreshments.

I'm taking their voices, views & experiences to politicians & policymakers with this challenge: listen, and act on what children are telling you. #TheBigAmbition childrenscommissioner.gov.uk/blog/one-milli…

Will YOU be part of the solution?
The mental health crisis has now become a pandemic and it is time to treat it as such. Early intervention is crucial and we cannot do this alone!

Please share, tag and spread the word.

Our mental health matters too 💛
