BREAKING Child poverty has risen *again*. 4.3 million children are living in poverty. In a general election year, nothing should be more important to our political leaders than making things better for the country’s poorest kids.

Director of CYCJ Fiona Dyer (Fiona Dyer) responds to the Jay review cycj.org.uk/news/cycj-resp…

"𝘾𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙙𝙧𝙚𝙣 𝙞𝙣 𝙂𝙖𝙯𝙖 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙙𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙝. Children in Gaza can no longer wait, as each passing minute risks another child dying of hunger as the world looks on." UN Children's Rights Committee #CRC calls for an immediate ceasefire in #Gaza.

This quote is a powerful tribute to the resilience and indomitable spirit of women who have faced unimaginable challenges and emerged not just intact but stronger and more radiant. tinyurl.com/yfbpvkh2

If you work with young people, it's important to not ignore or underestimate the influence of institutional and organisational cultures and their relationship with the wider system. There is a lot of harm being done under the guise of 'opportunity' and 'giving voice' 🙄

So proud of the hard work that has gone into this big step towards fairness & care for all children. As always I'm endlessly proud & grateful to the children & young people who helped make this happen. It's an absolute honour to hold your experiences & work towards change 💗🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Totally heartbroken by this, and constantly thinking of Jonathan's family, all the people from so many services that cared for and loved him, and the children and young people affected by this loss.
