Young people shouldn't have to hit crisis point before they can get help. But that is what we see every day. The Fonagy Review confirms it. That’s why we're calling for community-based, early support centres in all areas of the UK. It’s time to make it available to every young person who needs it.

Feeling hopeful post @uklabour.bsky.social conference - the emphasis on social care and young people was heard.

That’s a wrap for @childrenssociety.bsky.social this year. Big thanks to team @tcspolicypractice.bsky.social for all the prep & @markrusselluk.bsky.social leading the charge
