New report out today with @Ed_Dorrell on the profound breakdown in parental attitudes (across all social groups) to the idea of full-time school attendance in schools. Report on the #AttendanceCrisis is here:

Really proud to be launching research today into online conspiracy, misinformation and disinformation in schools. Great thread by @Ed_Dorrell with our key findings 👇.
Today, Public First publishes a landmark research study: the report from the Commission into Countering Online Conspiracies in Schools. Thanks to the support of the Pears Foundation, we were able to carry out first-of-its-kind research into this issue. 1/13.

It’s been a podcasting kinda week! Great to join the @Wonkhe podcast this week to discuss franchising, what the sector & a Labour government & the misogyny faced by female academics. Thanks @markmleach, @michaelsalmon0 & @JulianGravatt - great to chat.

Great article from @Ed_Dorrell in @officialinews_ today talking about the long shadow of Covid & what an incoming Labour government will need to tackle. Including CAMHS, a more holistic school experience for all pupils, targeted tutoring for those who are behind.
"Labour’s instincts on this are good. The noises and announcements that have emerged from @bphillipsonMP are absolutely right. She and Starmer evidently see [Covid catch up] as a long haul. Perhaps part of the “decade of national renewal”.". By me.

Great to discuss mine & @Ed_Dorrell's recent attendance research on parental attitudes to attendance, the latest data (spoiler, it's not looking great) & recent DfE's recent announcements as part of moving the dial. Thanks @MsEmilyHunt1 @EduPolicyInst for fascinating insight.
🚨NEW PODCAST EPISODE🚨. Why are so many pupils still absent from school?. @SallyBurtonshaw and @MsEmilyHunt1 joined us on #insideyoured to discuss why absence rates in England remain stubbornly high, and what can be done about it. 🎧

Public First will be providing the secretariat & undertaking the research to support the commission. My colleague @Ed_Dorrell explains how we’re approaching it here:
Delighted to reveal that Public First will be acting as the secretariat of the new Commission on Countering Online Conspiracy in Schools. We are incredibly thankful to the @PearsFoundation for asking us to take this on 1/.

We know online conspiracy, misinformation and disinformation are all causing significant challenges in schools, without support to tackle it. Delighted to be working with @PearsFoundation & expert commissioners across the sector to launch this commission:

Great thread on the latest innovation from Public First in how we speak to the public - an immersive approach to truly speak to ‘the public’ and understand what people think, whilst they are in their own environment 👇🏻.
🚨Change to how we run political qualitative research at Public First 🚨. Having spent the last year getting our Immersive Research team up and running in the UK and the US I am absolutely thrilled that we are now publicly launching to clients. (1/6)
