🧵 Shocking new research from @YouthEndowFund shows the extent of our failure to support young people experiencing domestic abuse and sexual violent...
🔺 49% of teenagers in a relationship in the last year have experienced violent or controlling behaviour from their partner.
"My biggest fear is if children can't access the support they need that they're then going to end up in the same position as Holly and potentially be murdered,"
- Holly Newton's mother, Micala Trussler.

Zoe was 16 when she entered the care system. She was moved five times and tells us it left with "this fear of owning too much stuff in case I need to move". Now 21, she doesn't have her own home, and is waiting for suitable social housing. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cj4d…
young care leavers continue to face much higher rates of homelessness than the general population- from me, @JPFagg and @miguelrocadata. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cj4d…

Glad to have recorded this path properly. "Only" 29 years from application to confirmation! @BBCEmilyUnia 's article on BBC News yesterday showed delays in processing applications is a national worry in the lead up to #PathExtinguishmentDay.

New petition from @FosterSupport calls for foster carers to be included in the govt's new deal for workers - changing their employment status would be a massive shift. Could improve retention & potentially reduce demand for expensive residential places, but would cost ££ too
