I've been busy over the past few days, focusing on my sequel to "Trapped in County Lines: Missing." I had the opportunity to chat with the dedicated school liaison team and Head of Safeguarding, DS Graeme Wright from @NYorksPolice , at the City of York Safeguarding Children Partnership @YorkSCP . I also had valuable discussions with the @NSPCC team about the crucial role that early intervention education plays in protecting children.
The animated stories are freely available on my YouTube channel, and printed copies are available in the NSPCC online shop, raising funds for #Childline.

Today is @UNESCO #WorldPoetryDay2025 - I’m sharing the winning poem from my national initiative by Alexandru Cocosila @CadetsWMP @WMPolice. I invited children and young people age 12-21 to write about their understanding or experiences of the complexities of #countylines exploitation. We have showcased the top 40 poems in a book launched today - with any proceeds from sales donated to @NSPCC.

I remember this awful case. He doesn’t deserve to ever be released.
Here is the full interview I did today with Tina Nash. Her partner gauged her eyes out with his bare hands, to stop her ever seeing her children again 💔💔
He has now been moved to an open prison & she is terrified he is soon to be released…

ALT Myth: The responsibilities are scary and I don’t have any expertise. Fact: A trustee’s journey starts with small steps, and you should receive support along the way. Commitment to your charity matters, and you will gain experience in the role.

I first said I wanted to create a mobile youth club way back in 2021 in an interview with The Star, Sheffield. When I first mentioned people really backed the idea and offered so much, but when it came to the action they all disappeared. But it was too late, I was committed.

Local govts must put the voices of people with lived experience of poverty at the core of anti-poverty policy making.
Councils, public services, third sector orgs and communities must collaborate to disrupt power imbalances and design better policies to reduce poverty. 🧵 1/4
ALT "Councils need to do this sort of work because it makes the public more on board, we are all wanting the same thing. You are there to make things better for your city or town and the only way you can make things better is by listening to people who have the most difficult experiences to understand and try and make it better." This was said by a member of Dundee Fighting for Fairness.
