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

This is great from @SHSorguk on the attendance crisis. Fixing this issue is one for the LONG HAUL. https://t.co/zOfLwqdO3y

We need a broader conversation about the causes of worsening attendance and its long-term solutions

Today @EduPolicyInst has published our latest assessment of the state of education in England – our first comprehensive post-pandemic analysis. We find an education system beset by inequalities. https://t.co/r0dg7xF6OP

It's not every day the @GuardianEdu come to visit an @ActionTutoring programme! Read more about the calls from school heads to find new funding to save the #NationalTutoringProgramme, which is due to close this week. https://t.co/a28riCtDFR

Well now. "Knowledge-rich" and "the important role of exams" This from the Labour manifesto: "Labour will launch an expert-led review of curriculum and assessment, working with school staff, parents and employers to change this. 1/

This morning, Public First publishes what I hope will be a very valuable contribution to the debate over plans to fund a fully trained mental health counsellor in every school. 1/7

We (mostly @ts_gale) created a policy tracker for the election. I clearly miss my time in front of policy spreadsheets in 2019. We hope it’s useful to see quickly what parties have (and have not) chosen to talk about. Quibbles and additions welcome. https://t.co/qk1OeM89JM

Great to see coverage of our work on public attitudes to opera in the Times today - represents just a piece of the detailed research we've been doing with the Laidlaw Opera Trust on views towards the sector. https://t.co/DqWICbdlVM

This week on Wonkhe: This week on the podcast a parliamentary report calls for changes to regulation on franchising. Does it go far enough? @michaelsalmon0 @SallyBurtonshaw @JulianGravatt

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 https://t.co/bYtIVu76R2

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. 🎧 https://t.co/CcF58KooBo

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/ https://t.co/0AP5WQ5ka5

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)

I'm coming late to this but just got to reading the full report. The findings don't surprise me at all because Sure Start Local Programmes were rooted in evidence & targeted in the poorest areas. But successive govts made two crucial errors (I was there, as a civil servant).
NEW: Sure Start, England’s first large programme to provide holistic support to families with children under five, greatly improved disadvantaged children’s GCSE results. Read @nridpathecon @Sarah_Cattan @carneiro_econ’s report, funded by @NuffieldFound: https://t.co/NiHZzVES3W
