It was great to join this #EarlyMomentsMatter petition hand in today, asking the government to invest in early childhood in tomorrow's spending review! (Though I do need to work on my 'serious campaigner demanding change' expression - I maybe just look bored?)

UNICEF UK's new analysis exposes the stark impact of deprivation on babies and young children’s life chances across England. It finds that young children living in areas with higher levels of deprivation have poorer outcomes across the board. (1/5)

We joined @EndChildPoverty in Westminster this morning to stand together against rising child poverty. Today's figures show 4.5 million children are now in poverty in the UK - and yesterday’s benefit reforms will push an additional 50,000 children into poverty by 2030.

Dear media (2): More people are on health/disability benefits because more people are ill. they’re iller for longer because: A. Getting treatment is hard & takes ages. B. We trap them in abject poverty. NOT because disability benefits are too easy to get or too generous. 1/2

Every child in care deserves a safe and loving home. But we know that isn’t the case for every child in NI. Can you spare 5 minutes to contact your MP and MLAs to ask them to stand up for care-experienced children and young people? actionforchildren.uk/WriteToMP #APlaceToCallHome #NCLW

📢NEW REPORT: Today we've published new research with parents who rely on incapacity benefits to support their families because of a disability or health condition that affects their ability to work, based on a unique survey and some in-depth interviews.
