It was good for @nerys-a.bsky.social and I to be in Worcester yesterday to join @childrenssociety.bsky.social Steer Clear team for an important conference on how we safeguard young people from knife crime. Really good to have our partners West Mercia PCC there too #EndYouthViolence

We are encouraged by today’s #CrimeAndPolicingBill. The new offence of child criminal exploitation is a critical step forward; however, it's important to have a clear definition of child criminal exploitation alongside the offence to properly safeguard child victims 👇

Important from @matthewsyed.bsky.social about how we’ve failed children. We @childrenssociety.bsky.social have been passionately arguing we need to invest in young people, particularly to support their mental health. Their future and the UK’s future depends on it www.thetimes.com/article/2124...

After years of campaigning, so pleased that A new offence of Child Criminal Exploitation will be introduced next week as part of the government’s #CrimeAndPolicingBill - an important measure to directly increase protection of children at risk of exploitation More from @markrusselluk.bsky.social ⬇️

We @childrenssociety.bsky.social have campaigned for years to have the law tightened to protect children from criminal exploitation. So we welcome @yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social new Crime and Policing Bill. We need to punish exploiters, prioritise victims and put child safety first

So pleased to welcome James Rudolf to @childrenssociety.bsky.social National Office today. James is the great grandson of Edward Rudolf who founded us in 1881. I was thrilled to meet him and share how Mr Rudolf’s DNA still flows through this very special organisation.

It’s #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek and this year’s theme is Know Yourself, Grow Yourself. Raising emotionally intelligent and resilient children can give them the tools they need to grow. But where do we even start? We’ve put together a list of tips: childrenssociety.org.uk/what-we-do/b...
