“If you’re going to strip search a young person, that child is vulnerable and they are being exploited.” The level of intimacy in strip searches being done before arrest “is really concerning,” says founder of The Mentoring Lab Elaine Isadora Thomas. 📻shorturl.at/9NE2B

Things that distract pupils and disrupt learning more than phones: - Hunger - Mental ill-health - Cold, crumbling buildings - Teaching staff shortages - Inadequate SEND provision When will the government address the real problems instead of repackaging what schools do already?

Whether you love or hate the influx of campaigns and hashtags, we must not lose sight of the fact there is still more work to be done to address the deeper levels of trauma and violence in our communities… the question is are we up for the challenge?

Hey guys, I’m a part of a project powered by @thementoringlab called OnTheMet - @we_are_youthinkfwd produced by @kaigama and we did a VoxPox to get the views of people in the community about their opinions of the met police. It would be great if you could take a look !!
Check out our latest vox pop interviews and get a glimpse of what the real people of London have to say about the Metropolitan Police as we try to build a more just and equitable society by taking our conversations right to the top. #youthinkfwd #voxpop #onthemet #Bethechange
