Pleased to attend the APPG for Children this evening, chaired by @jessasatomp.bsky.social where @pbe.co.uk shared the findings from this report ⬇️
Children’s services spending is at a record high but 82% of that is supporting too late. Children need support early
The pleasure is all ours! Really inspired by our colleagues at TCS and the incredible work of the Young Advisers! 💪🏽💯✨
Our latest report on Children's Services uncovers a system out of balance: annual costs in England reached a record £14.7 billion in 2024/25, but 82% of spending between 2011 and 2025 went to late intervention.

It’s been a lovely week across TCS, shining a spotlight on our incredible volunteers 💙

Happy #VolunteersWeek 🫶
We're very thankful to all the volunteers that make our work possible!
Volunteers Week is an annual celebration to recognise the contribution of volunteers.
We really value all of our @childrenssociety.bsky.social volunteers
Our teams of volunteers have notes of thanks winging their way around the country, landing in letter boxes soon.

No child should be exposed to sexually explicit images.
The Government has taken an important step towards making the digital world safer for children.
Tech firms have a clear responsibility to act. But the Government must go further to implement the full IICSA recommendations.
Children’s services are stuck in a crisis loop.
Spending hit a record £14.7bn despite little evidence outcomes for children are improving. The reason? 80% of budgets are spent on late intervention.
A new report by @pbe.co.uk, commissioned by us at the Children's Services Funding Alliance 👇
Tackling misogyny and harmful attitudes is essential for young people’s safety and wellbeing. We must take a proactive approach to tackle this growing problem.
Proud to support this important campaign from our friends and partners at @barnardos.org.uk
Child exploitation is a very serious topic that should never be dismissed.
Thank you @michellewelshmp.bsky.social for continuing conversations on something so important.
