Today I launch my landmark dataset: The Childhood Lottery.📍 Children feel it's harder to grow up in some places than others. Now I've brought together the evidence showing what a child’s experience is like in every postcode. Full report👉🏼 childrenscommissioner.gov.uk…

Children's futures should not depend on where they grow up

Schools cannot close the white working-class achievement gap on their own – it will take a combined effort

New Scandinavian wings at Wandsworth and Pentonville jails have seen a 45% drop in assaults, 57% fall in self harm, 62% reduction in disorder and a halving of staff sickness rates - fascinating results from new trial of a more rehabilitative approach to prison.

A unit in London’s Wandsworth prison has been transformed using methods from Sweden and Norway that prioritise rehabilitation over retribution

Interesting article: Technical routes could tackle an inherent tension in education tes.com/magazine/analysis/se…

Technical routes could tackle an inherent tension in education

Our education system works well for many pupils, but it also leaves many behind, which is why giving vocational routes more prominence has merit, says Sir Hamid Patel

Independent institutions are beginning to think alike. Not because they’re copying one another, but because children’s lives are exposing the limits of institution-centred thinking. My latest Notes from the Train explores why reports from education, health, local government, children’s social care and civic leadership are increasingly arriving at the same place. Perhaps the landscape changed first, and our thinking is only now beginning to catch up. #PublicService #Leadership #PlaceBased #OneChildhood #ConnectedAccountability substack.com/@stevekay230496…

What can a city teach you in a year? This week’s Notes from the Train is a reflection on my first twelve months working in Sheffield—about belonging, leadership, public service and the people who make a place what it is. #NotesFromTheTrain #Sheffield #Belonging #Leadership #PublicService #PlaceBasedLeadership open.substack.com/pub/stevek…

Children only get one childhood. The rest of us have a habit of dividing it into services. My latest Notes from the Train reflects on why early years matter, what I’ve learned in my first year in Sheffield, and five questions I’m still carrying. I’d love to hear what you think. #EarlyYears #BestStart #FamilyHubs #ChildDevelopment #Prevention #SystemsLeadership #LocalGovernment #NotesFromTheTrain open.substack.com/pub/stevek…
