3 things in life that leave & never return: words, time & opportunities… value whoever values you & don’t treat as a priority whoever treats you as an option.

In #TheBigAmbition children told me about how their experiences of the online world impact their lives. Far too many spoke about negative experiences, including seeing inappropriate or misleading content. My Ambassadors share what they want tech companies to know... #100voices

Children's voices deserve to be heard by politicians and adults in charge. One boy told #TheBigAmbition that decision makers should "involve children in making policies that affect them". #100Voices

I have made a 20 minute video of my talk at the Autism Show yesterday on the topic of recovering from burnout. It is aimed at autistic young people, but parents and professionals said it was helpful for them too. You can watch it here: youtu.be/l_LA35VXv9g?si…

Laura said 'What sort of legacy will I leave if I just focus on myself and not others?' She'd be thrilled to know there's now a scholarship in her name which will help a student with disabilities to study for a degree. We're so grateful to @OfficialUoM 💜 manchester.ac.uk/discover/news/…

What was clear from #TheBigAmbition was that children value their education. Many love their teachers but they want schools to focus on a stronger pastoral support offer. I will use these findings to inform my vision for the school system. childrenscommissioner.gov.uk/blog/the-big-a…

Today I hosted a roundtable with my Ambassadors with leaders from across the children’s sector. We discussed the early findings from #TheBigAmbition, and what the next government need to do to ensure that change happens to improve the lives of children and young people.

It's shocking to see so many children being referred to mental health services because they have reached crisis point. My new report details how over a quarter of a million children still waiting for mental health support. childrenscommissioner.gov.uk/blog/over-a-qu…

Trix has been asked on the @BBCBreakfast sofa in the morning to chat about what it’s like to be a sibling to a child diagnosed with cancer. @toms_trust who have developed a siblings toolkit to help others through what is a very difficult time. She has been the best big sister ❤️

Hughie & Freddie have shared their story with #BBCBreakfast viewers for more than 3 years so this is a joyous moment you won’t want to miss just after 8am 🔔

Tomorrow is the day we have all been hoping for since Sept 2020, Hughie’s ringing the bell to mark the end of his cancer treatment at RMCH live on BBC Breakfast from 6am ❤️ breakfast viewers have shown them so much support, it will be incredible to share this moment!
