Thank you Richard Holden MP for positive talks with care leavers, Barnardo’s @carefree_fic and @cornwallcouncil about the free bus travel for care leavers pilot project in Cornwall. Great to also discuss the case for this being adopted across the country for all care leavers.

Pornography impacts children’s perceptions of healthy sex and relationships, including how it normalises sexual violence – yet children still have unfettered access to it. The #OnlineSafetyBill must be strengthened to implement robust age verification for pornography.
