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.

🚨Short prison sentences don’t work and community sentences don’t have to be soft.

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.

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.

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
