Every child has the right to a decent home ‼️In 2025, in one of the richest nations in the world, babies & children are dying in inadequate temporary accommodation 👶🏿👶🏼👶🏾 Young lives needlessly cut short due to failures in policy to address issues raised more than 20 yrs ago🚨👇
Read Voices blog by Jane Cook - this week, a report was published by the Households in Temporary Accommodation All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG), “Child Mortality in Temporary Accommodation 2025” with some hard-hitting statistics https://t.co/PBqXAsoFDT

Love that David. I was introduced to a new concept this week…semi retire so you can do more. You are living the dream. 😀
@eunice_lumsden For someone supposedly retired I seem to be busier than ever - writing, teaching, consulting, advising, conference & event organising, presenting, looking after grand children.....🙂

Excellent hearing your messages again this morning @FloellaBenjamin #Childhoodlastsalifetime #optimism is so important but we have so much to do to help future generations have the world they deserve. It not only takes a village to raise a child but political will.

Guest editing BBC Today programme was a wonderful experience. I got the chance to expand on my mantra #Childhoodlastsalifetime’. I explore how so much influences children, especially the media. Do listen to the programme tomorrow if you get a chance @BBCr4today

I am deeply honoured to have been appointed to serve in the House of Lords. It is the greatest privilege of my life, after 40 years working to improve the life chances of children & families to have been given this incredible opportunity to continue that work in Parliament.
