In these unprecedented times I wanted to spread a message of HOPE and ENCOURAGEMENT. So I teamed up with 16 young people, @UKfullyfocused and @MayorofLondon to produce this short piece: β€œYou’ve Got This” (poem by @ShanqMarie) Just a quick reminder to dig deep, #YouveGotThis

Earlier this week I spent some time BTS with the @birminghamchildrenst EMPOWERU team. It was a moving experience and I take my hat off to all those that stand in the gap for our children. Looking forward to collaborating with my Birmingham colleagues in 2024! #safeguarding
