Restricting female humanitarians from working and female students from access to education in Afghanistan is a blatant violation of fundamental human rights. My statement here ▶️ unicef.org/press-releases/re…

There’s a real opportunity to set the standard in the UK for children’s online safety in the #OnlineSafetyBill Our children should never be a few clicks away from harmful content & there’s much to be gained through provisions in the Bill & opportunities to strengthen it further

@lynnanneperry MBE @barnardos CEO gave evidence today to @HouseofCommons #OnlineSafetyBill committee highlighting Barnardo’s key calls: ✅ Age verification on porn sites ASAP ✅ Bringing online regulation into line with rules for DVDs for commercial pornography sites 1/2

Sky Sports condemns the vile, racist abuse of England’s players and will continue to campaign against all online hate. Today we are celebrating the achievements of this fantastic #ENG team. #HateWontWin

Because of the pandemic, we’re all facing different types of loss and grief, as well as long-lasting changes to our everyday lives. Experiencing loss can be overwhelming for children and young people but with the right support, they can start to recover. #BelieveinChildren
Referrals to children’s services 10-23 Aug were up 12% on the same period over the last three years and 60% of local authorities reported an increase, says @educationgovuk. Don’t wait until things get too difficult - get friendly advice and support now. bit.ly/3cdkX56

We know that the #coronavirus pandemic, along with the lockdown measures to contain it, have exposed children and young people to trauma, adversity and loss. It’s vital that we put wellbeing at the heart of education as children go #backtoschool. bit.ly/3ei33Ow

Be more Tom! ❤❤❤ Tom Moore aimed to complete 100 laps of his Bedfordshire garden by Thursday, walking with the aid of a frame. He has now vowed to keep going even though he has smashed his original £1,000 target. #ThankYouNHS
