Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio) YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

“Strengthening” the #ChildGuarantee requires strengthening implementation not reopening the framework. @eurochild-org.bsky.social #UnequalChildhoods report shows the #ECG is delivering change. We need sustainable funding, involvement of CSOs & children & families #IntegratedWorking #EndChildPoverty

An inclusive system is not a privilege, it’s a right!

The #TurinDeclaration calls for strong, inclusive care systems that empower families & carers

EU & national leaders need to:
🟠Deliver an EU Care Deal
🟠Advance the EU Disability Strategy
🟠Strengthen the Child Guarantee

Today, @allyad.bsky.social, Eurochild Director of Policy, Advocacy & Comms, joined the #ChildRights Unit at @scottishgov.bsky.social to present Eurochild’s work to promote children’s rights. Such a great opportunity to share our experience and learn from each other’s efforts!

Why are so many disadvantaged and SEND learners excluded from the system? Why do so many YP disengage from school? We've had years of people saying curriculum and rigid approaches to behaviour are 'the answer' to solving disadvantage. It's about time we asked if they're part of the problem as well.
