Thousands of vulnerable people in the UK are being affected by ‘cuckooing’ - exploitation which can see drug dealers use a victim's home to prepare, store and distribute drugs, often as part of ‘county lines’ networks. We must change the law and kick the cuckoos out of the nest.

Finding life changing ideas that are working away from the Westminster bubble is what ⁦ @csjthinktank ⁩ prides itself on. And this, driven by ⁦ @AndyBurnhamGM ⁩, is certainly one.

Our report out today, Swimming with Sharks, shows that up to 1 million people in England could be borrowing from an illegal money lender today. We must renew the fight against loan sharks before it gets worse. 📖 Read the report:

Superb news that @andyratcliffe9 and @ImpetusPEF will be spearheading this-the epitome of leadership and evidence-based life change. Exciting that @sajidjavid will use the innovation and quality of the voluntary sector to drive wholesale change. Game on.

Today we launch the findings of our year long study on Alternative Education in the Uk. With yesterday’s DFE figures showing highest ever rates of exclusion, our ideas are more needed than ever. There is huge life potential out there, it’s time to release it.

Too many vulnerable children are being cast to our peripheral vision, into alternative school provision, where their life prospects lie hostage to fortune. Read our new report here on how to transform school exclusions and the support that exists beyond:

For those even contemplating closing schools- don’t. The last shut downs plunged thousands of children into the darkness as the @csjthinktank report showed.

Closing schools again risks disaster. Following 1st covid wave, absent pupils grew 55% to over 90,000. Missing school makes exclusion & drop outs more likely & acts as a conveyor into youth justice system and prison. 59% prisoners truanted.

Both political parties need to come out and give a bold agenda for the young people of this nation. The scale of response has not met the scale of need since the pandemic. School absence has soared, storing up trouble for years to come. @csjthinktank @thetimes

School absence has soared since Covid, smashing the educational prospects of thousands of young people. But if we fail this generation we will all pay the price, in increased crime, inactivity and ruined lives.  Ministers need a new plan to get the nation’s kids back to

Huge congratulations to my boss and friend @MPIainDS . Ambitious for lives & willing to drive through reform rather that grab soundbites; puts issues on the political table that many run from (family & addiction); challenger of status quo, and huge investor into small charity.

Big new report from @csjthinktank on how to support more disabled people into work. The commissioning structure of Gov is broken, & must be shifted to focus on small charity/ Soc Ent delivery. They are the best at life change in locality, and must be released to do their thing.
