We discussed why alternative provision is essential for those with unmet needs, how tailored support changes lives, and the power of giving young people a voice in shaping their futures.

Joe met with staff and students to hear their stories. One student shared how mainstream school didn’t work for them – and how Include London helped them turn things around with the right support.

Excellent news for safeguarding children! For years, we and many others like @actnforchildren @barnardosnews @childrensociety @NSPCC @ECPATUK have been calling for a statutory definition of child criminal exploitation. Thank you @SarahChampionMP for making this change now happen.
Wow! The Government have finally acted on our campaign to create a definition of child criminal exploitation. This means less children in courtrooms, and more in safeguarding & support.Thanks to @NSPCC, @ECPATUK, @salvationarmyuk and all the other charities made this happen.

Yesterday, @jessphillips MP joined a Catch22 & @BTP County Lines op to safeguard children and young people exploited by criminals. We discussed the power of partnerships, overlooked victims, family support & the need to protect, not criminalise, children.
Gang leaders - who force vulnerable people to hide drugs and cash in their bodies - could face up to 10 years in prison under a change in the law. Ministers are seeking to create a new criminal offence to crack down on "plugging" - where children and vulnerable adults are
