The report from the London AI and Jobs Taskforce makes one thing clear: the impact of AI on jobs is not predetermined. I'm pleased to accept the flagship recommendations from the Taskforce and back them with £18 million in skills and careers support for young Londoners.

New research from @london-vru.bsky.social shows young people are served violent content without searching for it – it’s the background to their experience online. We’re responding with a £5m investment in digital youth work, mentoring, and interventions to protect young Londoners from these harms.

Youth clubs like Avenues Youth Project do incredible work with young Londoners to keep them safe and help them thrive. My London VRU is funding sport and physical activity sessions like this during the holidays and throughout the year to ensure young people have access to positive opportunities.

We are committed to intervening to divert young people away from exploitation. With @sadiqkhanlondon.bsky.social, we fund The Safety Box & others to tackle violence in the after-school period. We must focus on preventing violence, not just responding to it. @the-independent.com t.co/6cQVXEqoNU

60% of young offenders have speech and language difficulties. My @london-vru.bsky.social is reaching children at the start of primary school to support them to improve their communication skills, with a big impact: 98% of children have closed the gap to their peers.

Youth workers offer a lifeline for young people following arrest for a violent offence. We fund two programmes - Divert and Engage - to embed youth workers in police custody to prevent reoffending and provide support. So far, we've reached 10,000 young people. 📺@itvlondon ⬇️ youtu.be/81odn4wMJaA
