Today sees a major step forward in evidence-based practice in children’s social care 👏@educationgovuk’s move to mandate family–led approaches by local authorities can help divert children from care and ensure they stay with their families where it’s safe to do so. This decision is based on our evidence that #FamilyGroupConferences (FGCs) have a significant impact in reducing the number of children who go into care.
We worked with @Coram on the first ever FGC trial in the UK involving 2,500 children in 1,500 families. It showed that children whose families were offered an FGC before court proceedings were less likely than those not referred to be in care one year later.
We welcome the government’s commitment to early, evidence-based interventions in children’s social care to ensure that children and families receive effective support at critical moments: gov.uk/government/publicatio…

Gov has moved to mandate Family Group Decision Making based on our trial showing that #FamilyGroupConferences before court proceedings are a cost-effective intervention that can keep children out of care & help them stay safely with their families. More: foundations.org.uk/our-work/…

IT’S KEIRMALA! – My take for @LabourList on what a @KamalaHarris/@Keir_Starmer partnership might look like if she wins the US election. Big thx to @JamalSimmons & @RealSamWhite for their insights labourlist.org/2024/10/gover…
I am delighted to join @FoundationsWW as the new Chair. Identifying the interventions that will make the biggest difference to families and children is such an important mission. We need champions of evidence-based policy making - now more than ever

Talking to @BBCPolitics last night about the scale of the challenge now facing the No10 Operation
Talking to @YuanPotts on Bloomberg @bpolitics today:
Why Labour couldn’t wish away the two child limit… yet.
What Alistair Darling really thought of Rachel Reeves.
And why Rachel isn’t secretly Ethan Hunt.
What does Labour's response to its first rebellion tell us about how the party will approach discipline?
Great to get the thoughts of @RealSamWhite, former Chief of Staff to Keir Starmer...
