completely agree with @lemnsissay There is an oven ready plan to improve childrens social care. The government should implement @JoshMacAlister review which will save the taxpayer money and improve children’s lives. These children deserve better theguardian.com/society/2024/a…
Well worth a watch. Excellent analysis from the @ifs in their series looking at the long term impact of Sure Start. Chimes with much of the work done at @FoundationsWW - indeed, @donnamolloy_ our director of impact joins the panel in this video.

Today’s @TheIFS report showing the positive impact of early #SureStart programmes on GCSE results is further evidence that #EarlyIntervention and family support can make a significant & positive difference to children’s lives 🧵👇 1/

Another dire warning about the unsustainable costs of a crisis-driven children’s social care system. @JoshMacAlister put forward affordable solutions. The failure to implement them ends up costing even more. Long term investment for early help vs. more bust councils/bailouts.

Fatimascampaign.com with Josh MacAlister, Executive Chair of Foundations, What Works Centre for Children & Families. There are 100,000 16-24 care experienced. If these young people do an apprenticeship they’re eligible for a care leaver bursary, yet only 330 apprentices claim

"The disadvantage faced by the care experienced community should be the civil rights issue of our time." - The Indepependent Review of Children's Social Care by Josh MacAlister OBE May 2022- Photo by Ray Bilcliff
I’d like to respectfully challenge. Manchester have already made Care Experience a Protected Characteristic. Their response to this was weak, with a nameless representative saying ‘they’d look into it’. Surely if it was any other PC we’d take legal action & stop using them?
People ask why the experience of growing up in care should be a protected characteristic. Here’s one very good reason. cypnow.co.uk/analysis/artic…

Anne Longfield CBE sheds light on the failures within children's services in her new book Young Lives, Big Ambitions. A must-read for social workers and mental health professionals passionate about making a difference. #SocialCare #ChildWelfare
Wonderful morning at Howgill Family Centre with @JoshMacAlister. From easing the strain on household finances, to breaking down the barriers to opportunity - Labour is the party of family. Josh will be a great champion for families in Whitehaven and Workington.
@JoshMacAlister This is an issue we will be exploring in the March edition of CYP Now magazine and podcast which will include a special report on youth apprenticeships
@JoshMacAlister You're absolutely right @JoshMacAlister more worrying than the uptake of the bursary are the numbers of Care Leavers in apprenticeships. We need to value the skills and abilities of Care Leavers and see taking on an apprentice as a smart business move! We have so much to offer
