💬 You can read Lady Hale's speech on our website. Have a re-read of the Convention on the Rights of the Child too. Imagine how being a child would be in our country today if successive governments had honoured this wonderful human rights treaty. article39.org.uk/2024/11/20/35-…

Good to hear NAIRO patron @EmmaLewellBuck raising this with the SoS.

Great to reconstitute the APPG for care-experienced children & young people today which @Become1992 provides the secretariat for. Huge thanks to Josh MacAlister MP for chairing, other parliamentarians and our friends NYAS (National Youth Advocacy Service) Coram Voice Barnardo’s for their support

An excellent piece from Article 39 Clear, concise and child focussed as always. Read it.

In 2022, I called for the end of care leavers needing to make themselves ‘intentionally homeless’ just to get suitable housing. Yet in the last 5 years the number of care leavers (18-20) becoming homelessness has increased by 54%. That’s why this decision by gov is so welcome!

Delighted that the Education Committee listed to the evidence from young people supported by Barnardo’s and have joined our calls for a #NationalCareOffer. Care leavers face a confusing patchwork of entitlements when they leave care. Read more: brnw.ch/SCHOOLBILL

Bad news...good news. Carolyne Willow from Article 39 is no longer able to chair the event. June Thoburn is stepping up and will chair the day.

Graced by your (and your son’s) presence. It’s all about what people do not just what they say.
