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.

Absolutely, how many children are farmed out of area in #CountylinesCCE for starters..

Sadly because the relationship projected is simply an interpretation of datasets, if they exist. Noting a 'post code' may not actually represent the child's home. All indicative of, how out of touch, pònts of authority are with each child. Genuine care and responsibility rare.

#Disappointing
Exploitation by crime gangs yt #BritishBoys as most common slaves get a throw-away mention🐘
Why no call for a strategy for trafficked boys?🐘
Discussing impacts on trafficked children yet wrongful convictions/endless boys being imprisoned doesn't merit inclusion🐘
Children as young as eight are being groomed and exploited by criminal gangs.
I spoke to @SkyNews about the need for stronger protections and greater action against perpetrators.
And I also called on the Government to scrap credibility provisions in the Immigration & Asylum Bill which risk penalising children who struggle to disclose their exploitation.

Because having your child taken, coerced, controlled, trafficked and debt-bondaged by organised criminals is not enough punishment.

There is no incentive to tackle #CountylinesCCE by law-enforcement or third sector.

The point of 'constructive relationships with safeguarding partners' isn't to tick the partnership-working box, and
children needing safeguarding aren't incidental in this context, they're the very reason for cultivating constructive relationships.
We've published our national child protection inspection report for @DerbysPolice.
We found that the constabulary has constructive relationships with safeguarding partners.
However, it needs to make significant improvements in how it responds to children at risk.

ALT Table showing HMICFRS national child protection inspection assessment grades for Derbyshire Constabulary. Five rating categories appear across the top: outstanding (dark green), good (green), adequate (yellow), requires improvement (bright red) and inadequate (dark red). no areas are rated outstanding. One area is rated good: working with safeguarding partners. one area is rated adequate: risk assessment and referrals. Two areas are rated requires improvement: leadership of child protection arrangements and investigating child abuse, neglect and exploitation. One area is rated inadequate: responding to children at risk of harm.

Never going to happen Della.
Instead 'experts' w. own agendas, causing further harm, & unaware of the relevance of Modern Slavery Act to Child Exploitation.
NEET a current big topic yet 1000s of boys exploited to go missing, trafficked to cuckooed properties is of no relevance.

The powers that be,really do not have a clue do they 🤦♀️ Child exploitation happens to children from all walks of life.The best thing the government can do is to actually get someone in that knows what they’re talking about & cut the fakeguarding.
