Care Leavers Hit 18 And Fall Off A Cliff

Care leavers are dying young because the system drops them the moment they turn 18 — a “care cliff” that leaves teenagers suddenly alone, unsupported, and unsafe. Chloe Pomfret’s story is one of those moments that stops you cold: a 16‑year‑old, suicidal and homeless, taken to A&E by her teachers — and told to goContinue reading “Care Leavers Hit 18 And Fall Off A Cliff”

I Choose Life!

Disability Justice Means Dignity — Not Gatekeeping

The system meant to protect disabled people has instead become a maze of waitlists, denials, and outdated rules that punish them simply for trying to survive.

Taxi Ban For Asylum Seekers

After it was discovered that migrants had travelled great distances at the cost of taxpayers, a restriction on asylum seekers using taxis to get to doctors’ appointments went into effect.

With plans to install cameras in UK cities, towns, and even villages, the government is looking to increase police use of face recognition technology to combat crime.

Punch-ups Before Lessons

Without a doubt, the situation in our schools has gotten really bad. Teachers are leaving the profession en masse, as they battle impossible workloads, toxic work environments, a ‘broken’ Special Educational Needs System, and surges in pupil brutality. Earlier this year, the Teachers’ Union estimated there were 30,000 violent incidents involving a student attacking aContinue reading “Punch-ups Before Lessons”
