Brilliant inaugural from the brilliant Anthony Khawaja 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Our new FOI research found that 57 per cent of local authorities are decreasing or only maintaining the number of specialist teachers they employ.

This is despite a gradual increase in children and young people using VI services: rnib.in/3Um4Gm7

🧵Children with vision impairment continue to be hit by education budget cuts and freezes.

While our new FOI report for England reveals a slightly improved picture, huge disparities in access to education between children with vision impairment and their sighted peers remain.

Imagine having nowhere safe to go. That's the reality for children in Gaza.

UNICEF continues to call for an immediate and long-lasting humanitarian ceasefire and unrestricted humanitarian access to allow aid to reach every child and family in need.

Six months on, the Israeli military campaign has brought relentless death & destruction to Gaza.

Lives shattered. Children dying for lack of food & water.

This is incomprehensible & entirely avoidable.

Nothing can justify the collective punishment of the Palestinian people.

We cannot wait any longer for action to be taken to address the issues in clinical academia that we all recognise need fixing. If we delay/continue to ignore the issues, there will no longer be anything left to save…
