"Only 1 in 5 children feel listened to by those who run the country...but they have faith that if they were listened to, politicians could and would transform their lives" Great to speak at #APPGChildren sharing #TheBigAmbition with my Youth Ambassadors @ncbtweets

Glorious!
A Danish kindergarten. Playing outdoors, even in mud, is part of each day. It's essential for children's sensory development. It's essential for children to be children. For the rest, grown-ups invented the washing machine. #GoodMorning, everyone

Children are passionate about making change - but only 1 in 5 feel like those in power listen. I'm taking their voices, views & experiences to politicians & policymakers with this challenge: listen, and act on what children are telling you. #TheBigAmbition childrenscommissioner.gov.uk…

Will YOU be part of the solution? The mental health crisis has now become a pandemic and it is time to treat it as such. Early intervention is crucial and we cannot do this alone! Please share, tag and spread the word. Our mental health matters too 💛 #mentalhealth

Imagine a school where your mental health is just as important as your grades. That’s worth striving for.
