- Reposted by Steve Parkinson“Whilst today’s strategy, coupled with the impending removal of the two-child benefit cap, is a significant step in the right direction, we urge the Government to go further: invest in education across the whole school system, tackle regional inequalities head-on."

- Reposted by Steve Parkinson🎨 Creativity isn’t a luxury - it’s a lifeline. The final #ChildrenFirst report calls for arts and culture to be embedded in every school, for every child. Because talent is everywhere, but opportunity isn’t. Read the evidence and join the movement. #ChildOfTheNorth #Health #Inequality #Creativity
- For our final report update in our #ChildrenFirst campaign we evidence the economic and social value of arts-based interventions. Creative arts must not be marginalised at a time when children need them most. Learn more: www.n8research.org.uk/research-foc... Cont. in comments 👇
