Interesting and engaging session on impact measurement from @racheltait. "It's easy for a lot to be assumed about why a programme might be useful... It's really important to get specific."

New research from @_TheFEA looks at the disadvantage gap in education in the last year as well as wider trends over the last decade. We need urgent action and we've made clear recommendations for a fair education system for all. #FairEdForAll
Today's @_TheFEA Report Card shows we're failing many young people – especially those in poverty the longest or in underserved regions. With FEA members, we call for action on POVERTY, PLACE, and POWER so the system works for all. #FairEdForAll

Today the COVID Social Mobility & Opportunities study shines a light on the effects of the pandemic on a generation of young people. As the differential impact becomes clear, more than ever, we need to be looking at what works in schools to ensure lost learning can be caught up.

We recently surveyed @_TheFEA members and heard from over 70% of them! Yesterday the team discussed what we learned and how it can shape our activities in the next year. Loved having that time to dig into the data and make sure we USE it.

Great blog about charities taking their first steps into impact practice. So pleased to see #InspiringImpact resources still available to all - it's fab guidance that I still use myself and often share with @_TheFEA members and Award Winners.
Taking your first steps into impact practice can be daunting, but the process can be broken down into four stages. Our steps can help charities to focus their resources, implement improvements, boost morale and attract funding. New from our Sarah Williams:

A-level results day is a day of celebration and commiseration. And whilst we know that the experience will look quite different for some groups of young people compared to others, it is a time when we hear some much-needed good news stories about young people’s successes. 🧵
