Since it is #WorldBookDay this is what I am currently reading. Obviously I am not alone in thinking this, but oh my goodness what a brilliant book. The kind of book where you really look forward to finishing work so you can read some more. Thank you so much, @florenceknapp.bsky.social

“Investing in young people’s wellbeing is a sensible investment that really pays back.” Revisit yesterday's webinar with @power2org.bsky.social to hear from @julierandles.bsky.social about the value of 121 wellbeing support for young people. 📽️https://youtube.com/live/sHL80XquxlU?feature=share
“It’s really great to have the findings of the economic value of 121 support. It helps to demonstrate to policy makers why this sort of intervention is vital to young people at risk of slipping through the gaps. 

“It doesn’t just impact the child or young person. It helps achieve an effective, well functioning society.

“Investing in young people’s wellbeing is a sensible investment that really pays back.”

Emotionally-based school avoidance is a real crisis and is ruining young people’s potential. Come and hear about the impact and value of our Power2 Rediscover programme on how trusted-adult support bridges the gap between the child and the education system in this free webinar👇🏼

Today, on the first day back to school after the festive break, over 4,000 young people will be suspended from school in England according to 2022/23 data*. And it doesn’t stop there. (1/4)
