I was always very proud of fundraising efforts with @bevcraig & co for the Chris Smith List back in 2015. Delighted to hear our previous record has been smashed by @LGBTLabour. 👏

Today is International Day to #EndCorporalPunishment. Globally, corporal punishment is the most common form of violence against children. Decades of research finds that it has multiple risks of harm and no benefits. Read more: endcorporalpunishment.org/re…

Mean Girls is so popular because it reveals the dark parts of our psychology. People who don't know what they want adopt other people's desires until their models become their enemies. Thread:

The strange endurance of corporal punishment - “research into the effects of corporal punishment is almost entirely uniform in its agreement that the practice does not work and has enduring negative effects on children.” From ⁦@TheLancet⁩. thelancet.com/journals/lanch…

I think this thread on data on charity sector is completely fair and suggestion of some self-regulation and adherence to Code of Practice useful… I think biggest issue is the lack of data literacy and capabilities across sector.

We at @RoyalStatSoc frequently call out governments for being naughty with data. But today I'd like to talk about a different sector... charities. (1)

Partly a supply issue: very few organisations are giving practical advice to charities - honourable exceptions to @NCVO who have some basic bits and I know looking to do more (ncvo.org.uk/help-and-guidanc…) and the great team at @DataKindUK.

Partly a demand issue: I don’t think many charities have a good understanding of how poor their use of data is or risks from how they present information. Regularly see ITTs which have v.unrealistic expectations given samples etc.

This is heartbreaking and genuinely shocking. Such an indictment about how young people at risk of harm are treated. ⤵️

I wonder if Kane will get the same treatment and abuse as Rashford, Sancho, and Saka did - the three black England players that missed penalties at the Euros few years ago. Daniel Kaluuya breaks down racism in the UK. Worth a watch.
I find this maddening. Why do we allow schools to judge or assess a child & their family’s choice about haircuts & exclude them when their is no impact on their or others education?
