An amazing panel today - come along 👇🏻
Join us at #Lab26 for The Big Conversation on the opportunities devolution can unlock for young people, and why children must be central to decision making.
@Georgia_Gould @alanmilburn1958 @MetroMayorSteve @DanielKebedeNEU Iona Ledwidge @frankcottrell_b and my Youth Ambassadors.
It's taken 15 years for Snapchat to realise that they shouldn't let strangers contact children.
Something anyone with a glancing interest in children's wellbeing could have told you.
A reminder that the best way to regulate tech is to start from the rules we already have.

Today we've shared our business plan for @Rachel_deSouza 's final year as Children's Commissioner. Our goal is simple: to look back, listen, & plan for the future, pushing decision-makers to act on children's views to create lasting change in childhood: childrenscommissioner.gov.uk…
The Crime and Policing Bill makes some important changes. As it's currently drafted, though, it will create similar loopholes that were used by those sexually exploiting children. childrenscommissioner.gov.uk…
It's a strange thing to do partly because of the incoherence.
But more importantly because there is no justification for criminally exploiting someone.
Ahead of a crucial period of education reform this autumn - we at @ChildrensComm have published our contribution.
The first output from our census of all schools and colleges in England.

Such an important education role in our office. Please speak with @joeAlane if you think this role could be right for you and you want to set the world on 🔥 for children 👇🏻

This is really interesting. The big prize for public services, though, will be
1. Using this to make wider administrative geography more coherent - ensuring things like ICBs and police forces overlap with councils.
2. Making it uniform across England
Depriving a child of their liberty outside of clear legislative reasoning and putting them in illegal children's homes are things which obviously(!) shouldn't be happening. Upcoming Children's Bill needs to put a stop to both.

This is an interesting report from the @CCNOffice on children's social care. In part because it says very clearly that councils think there needs to be much stronger central policy on how placements for children in care are provided. countycouncilsnetwork.org.uk…
If 10 is true, can 1 to 9 be?
President-Elect Donald Trump announced over the weekend his plan for public education of America’s youth. What he said is historic:
• “First, we will respect parents’ right to control their children’s education.
• “Second, we will empower parents and local school boards to hire and reward great principals and teachers and fire those who perform below par.
• “Third, we will ensure our classrooms are focused not on political indoctrination but on teaching the knowledge and skills needed to succeed - reading, writing, math, science, arithmetic, and other beneficial subjects.
• “Fourth, we will prepare students to love their country and not hate it like they’re trained [to do] now.
• “Fifth, we will support bringing back prayer to our schools.
• “Sixth, we will achieve safe, secure, and drug-free schools with immediate expulsion for any student who harms a teacher or another student.
• “Seventh, we will give all parents the right to choose another school for their children: School Choice.
• “Eighth, we will ensure students can access project-based learning experiences to help train them for meaningful work outside the classroom.
• “Ninth, we will strive to give all students access to internships and work experiences that can set them on a path to their first job. They’re going to be very, very successful. I want them to be more successful than Trump; I will [then] be the happiest person in the world.
• “Tenth, another thing I’ll be doing very early in the administration is closing up the Department of Education in Washington, DC, and sending all education back to the states. We’re going to end education coming out of Washington, DC. We’re going to close it up, all those buildings all over the place, and yet, people who, in many cases, hate our children. We’re going to send it all back to the states.
“Thank you very much.”
