👪 Earlier this year the government released the first estimate of the number of children with a parent in prison. In our latest blog we call for action to support children with a parent in prison and an end to the cycle of trauma, stigma and isolation ➡️ https://t.co/i3gE2SulXd

Interesting discussion on using lived experience to shape policy at #Lab24 with @ItsGroundswell @RevDoors @JamesTCobbler @KateGreenSU. Lots of ideas for us at @EmmausUK as we shape policy on ending homelessness with those who have experienced it.

A great start to #Lab24 with this panel, organised by @RevDoors, on ‘Real Lives Driving Change: Using lived experience to shape policy’. Brilliant contributions from @JamesTCobbler, @DeputyMayorofGM, Ruth Kent @humankind, Steve Riley @RevDoors, James Dillon, Groundswell.
Dropped bag off with my lovely Airbnb host in Wavertree. Enjoyed exploring more of #Liverpool on route. I can’t stand dropping in and out of conferences without seeing local place and chatting with people who live here. Looking forward to seeing more of #Manchester’s sister

@Humankind_UK @ItsGroundswell @AmnestyUK Kate highlights how Violence Reduction Units (VRUs) has been designed and led by communities. “They’ve designed it, they delivered it, they want it, it’s in their space. And I think that’s been very important in bringing down rates of youth violence in Manchester.”
