The bravest person I’ve ever got to work with Hilary Nicholls, using her families tragedy to bring others life. It’s who she is. Thank you Cathy Newman for giving this the stage it needs.
Good stuff Bridget Phillipson, as Labour to warn of ‘lost generation’ over school absences in King’s Speech debate standard.co.uk/news/politics/…
Superb from Nick Martin - who has continued to push this issue in the public sphere. 140,000 kids still out of school more than they are in it.
Severe school absence is back at Record levels, as The Centre for Social Justice absence tracker shows. This is the silent majority that both political parties should be fighting for the lives of.
🚨Short prison sentences don’t work and community sentences don’t have to be soft.
So we think Alex Chalk KC MP Ministry of Justice are right to announce a presumption against prison for short sentences, with robust community sentences used to cut reoffending and the prison population 🧵
Come on James Mitchinson. If you think that children’s chances lie only in the actions (or inactions) of a government, then you’re forever writing them off.
There’s no more important session at the conferences. Biggest thinkers and doers The Centre for Social Justice to show what the strategy should be to release the potential of the most struggling. And this is bigger than just one party. With Andy Burnham Iain Duncan Smith MP Miriam Cates Fraser Nelson twitter.com/csjthinktank/s…

Very proud moment as The Centre for Social Justice returns to where it was founded by Tim Montgomerie 🇬🇧 and Iain Duncan Smith MP, to open its first ever Scottish office. And we start right where we should be- in the middle of 100 small charities, learning the true challenges and listening to the best ideas.
Major report out today from The Centre for Social Justice showing Gov’s long awaited sports strategy just doesn’t think or do big enough. So much potential out there, which sport can capture and develop. Thanks to Lawrence Dallaglio Courtney Lawes BOXWISE John Roberts for leading the way.
Congratulations to our great friend and The Centre for Social Justice ambassador Courtney Lawes for 100th England cap today. Absolute hero on and off the field 🏴
Come back to school, Gillian Keegan urges pupils demoralised by pandemic. The realisation of what’s happening has been slow, but is at last dawning. The Centre for Social Justice won’t stop until the response matches the need telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/08/1…
Big new job now live- in the most important areas and most significant of times The Centre for Social Justice.
There’s huge potential across this nation, & Gov needs to bring it out. Young people aren’t just the future, they are the now; Attendance mentors, Youth club infrastructure, enrichment guarantee- all fundable & doable The Centre for Social Justice The Sun thesun.co.uk/news/23218841/…
Both political parties need to come out and give a bold agenda for the young people of this nation. The scale of response has not met the scale of need since the pandemic. School absence has soared, storing up trouble for years to come. The Centre for Social Justice The Times and The Sunday Times
