All our love is with the children of Gaza. Ceasefire and Liberation NOW. 🇵🇸
Kids in Gaza hosting a press conference, in English, to beg the world for life. “We come now to shout and invite you to protect us; we want to live, we want peace…we want to live as the other children live.” Over 4200 kids, like these, have been killed. https://t.co/faughefSf7

Fab to celebrate the new #ContextualSafeguarding book with co-authors on Wednesday! (I've got a chapter on #participation) Always learning from the @C_S_Network who carefully & compassionately share learning & experience to improve children & young people's safety/liberation 💜
Thanks to everyone who came out to mark the launch of the latest #ContextualSafeguarding report. It was wonderful to talk to so many people who are putting the ideas in the book into practice and was well worth a keeping in touch day while on mat leave ❤️
