Today is #WorldChildrensDay - an opportunity to reflect on the important ideas and contributions children make to society.
Only 1 in 5 told #TheBigAmbition they feel adults in power listen to them. Their voices are powerful - they need to be heard.

Former head whose daughter missed school from anxiety "said many [home educating] parents feel the entire education system is broken is working against them...[his daughter's] anxiety was driven by being at school". Is tough approach to absence working? theguardian.com/education/20…

Such a powerful message from this young person about the problems faces for many in mainstream school...

Attendance Matters!
But so do children…
Perhaps you've seen a similar poster?
Well, I propose a few changes; if we're going to award attendance I think we should at least be honest about what we're awarding.

As a home educator there are "no back to school" photos for us because our learning is continuous, interweaved into our daily life. #homeeduk

The easiest dot to dot puzzle ever! The links couldn't be more clear between school policy and school attendance...

Connect the dots between the SEND crisis and the Attendance crisis - when children do not get the support they need in school they become unable to attend, and then the system blames the family and fines/prosecutes parents (...make it make sense!)

Best way to encourage critical thinking...? Bringing democratic principals into the classroom! Children can learn to be active citizens, respecting all members of their community, by practicing those principals in school.

The best defences of our free and open society are those within us.
Labour will work to make them stronger through encouraging critical thinking across education.

Loving this campaign!
In #TheBigAmbition children told me they don't feel listened to by the Government & decision makers.
My Ambassador, Rebecca, shares why she thinks the Government should prioritise listening to children's voices and how this can help empower and inspire young people.

Great to see such a focus on children's agency and acknowledgment that the very people education is for are currently 'ghosts' in the system...
