Our response to this government white paper on immigration

This "debate" about who should use what toilet doesn’t benefit anyone. It doesn’t fix the underfunding of women's refuges, NHS waiting lists leaving women in terrible pain, mums skipping meals to feed their kids. How about we get on with tackling the real issues affecting women?

What does it mean to listen to children's stories, narratives and ideas? Come along to this double book launch on 1 April with IOE authors and explore children's perspectives of school and their practical suggestions to strengthen wellbeing and learning within schooling. bit.ly/4hTxRWn

This month marks the third anniversary of the removal of the defence of physical punishment of children coming into force in Wales. Great to see Senedd members encouraging the UK Government to follow the lead set by Wales and Scotland to #EndPhysicalPunishment ⬇️

Since Labour took office, 10,000 more children have been plunged into poverty by the refusal to scrap the two-child benefit cap. Increasing military spending while millions of children go hungry is not a tough decision. It’s the wrong decision.

A statement from our CEO Moazzam Malik on the news that the government is cutting the UK aid budget to fund an increase in defence spending:

I have produced a #StarterPack for people working on #childrensrights internationally, regionally and nationally. If you're not included and work in the area, that is solely down to my Bluesky incompetence - please just let me know and I will add you. go.bsky.app/FE9fYz3 #childrights #UNCRC

What is the relationship of #children with #democracy? How do #childrights fit in? And what does this mean for the role of the #courts? Some thoughts on #worldchildrensday www.joinexpeditions.com/exps/1081
