I’m publishing new research today revealing 45% of those aged 8 to 17 are seeing ‘upsetting & worrying’ harmful content - I show where & what children are seeing: ‘Molly Russell tragedy will recur as social media bombards children with self-harm content’ telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/09/2…

To every person who is involved with children in care. WE PLEAD THAT YOU NEVER USE A BIN BAG OR PLASTIC SHOPPING BAG. We are hearing of this happening to often. EVERY CHILD IN CARE IS INCREDIBLE AND DESERVE MORE. They deserve to be treated with #ValueWorthDignity

I'm asking for every business, organisation in the UK to open your doors and give care experienced young people a working opportunity. Together we can make a difference. #changeiscoming Children in care are still children.

Remember Victoria Climbié - born this day, 1991. Her favourite colour was red and she liked to entertain. The death of this 8-year-old led to improved child protection policies/practices and a promise to make the difference for those we serve #VictoriaClimbié #everychildmatters

It’s the things we do that mean the most. 🛹 #TheBeginner

I’ve noticed that when we provide food and support for those who are poor, we’re applauded and told we’re compassionate and thoughtful. But when we talk about why the poor are poor, we’re told that we’re naive, that they’re lazy and they should take responsibility for themselves.

Simply wonderful:
