The initiative will provide €325 (£283) a week to 2,000 eligible artists based in the Republic of Ireland. This follows a pilot (for which 2,000 artists were randomly selected from 8,000 applicants). ‘The scheme recouped more than its net cost of €72m’ www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

Baroness Blower references our report on Reframing Childhood in the Lords debate on the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill hansard.parliament.uk/lords/2025-0...
Three years ago, the British Academy published a report Reframing Childhood.
It was the outcome of a wide-ranging programme chaired by my noble friend
Lady Lister. Three themes emerged, each of relevance to this Bill. The first was
"being and becoming"; this drew attention to the importance of childhood as a state of being of great significance to the child. The final theme was "children's voices and participation", and the second was "children's rights" as articulated in the UN convention. This is missing from the Bill.
