Powerful start to our annual The Children's Society #SafeAndSound conference with Rebekah Pierre sharing the importance of legacy in language in case records, though her own experiences in care.
Every child in in care deserves the highest level of safety, care and love.

Today is our The Children's Society annual ‘Safe and Sound’ conference - talking all things safeguarding. A powerful opening from Mark Russell 🇺🇦 (he/him) and delighted to have Rebekah Pierre as our key note speaker this morning discussing the power of language.

So powerful listening to Rebekah Pierre sharing her story about accessing her records from children’s social care, and the power of language. Every child in our care system deserves the best possible care and we need to reframe language to be trauma informed #SafeAndSound

Delighted to attend our Safe & Sound conference today.

Really grateful to Tom Hunter and our friends Foundations for this important report and we The Children's Society support their focus on keeping children safe from domestic abuse

Very proud of this resource that has come from The Children's Society - National Programmes Disrupting Exploitation team, with The Difference

Exclusion from school can have devastating outcomes, we want to work with schools, governors and other decision makers to ensure safeguarding responses

Sharing to our network in Oxfordshire - new service for young carers within armed forces families

Why have I never watched #ThePiano before? What a truly beautiful programme from Manchester. Ellis, Ethan and Duncan were truly inspiring. Thank you Claudia Winkleman MIKA and Lang Lang

Absolutely LOVE this new Children and Young People’s Declaration being adopted by St Helens Borough Council after listening to the voices of young people.

Great work David Baines and team!

Deeply honest and move from Giles Coren Has No Idea - he’s absolutely right, smacking children has no place in a civilised society. It’s time the law changed to give children the same legal protection from harm that adults have. Thank you Giles for bravely sharing your story

Grateful to Anne Longfield and Centre for Young Lives for this important report. It echoes everything we The Children's Society call for

We are failing a generation of children, we must do better, and ensure no child is left without support

Mental Health Support Teams are essential in providing a whole-school approach to wellbeing but 50% coverage by this time next year leaves far too many children going without - there needs rapid expansion to embed wellbeing support throughout schools.

Happy Big Birthday this weekend Vernon Kay - I’ve got mine in June! 1974 was a cracking year!!!

I’m so sorry that Frank Field has died. I’ve met Frank on a number of occasions and was always moved by his passion to eradicate poverty. He was one of those rare politicians who commanded respect across Parliament. We will keep the fight up to lift families out of poverty

I’m sorry Chris Philp MP but the only way to stop criminal groups profiting from smuggling people is not your Rwanda Bill - it is the creation of safe routes for refugees to use and demonstrate they’ve legitimate claims to asylum #bbcqt
