"It is not acceptable what happens now, not acceptable at all." 13 years ago, @David_Cameron & @nickclegg spoke against locking children up. We ended child detention a year later. Now @UKParliament needs to act to stop the Gov from bringing it back and #ProtectChildren.

Big news. I've stepped down from my chief exec role at @MasortiJudaism. It's been an amazing 10+ years with wonderful colleagues - more like a home than a job. Now on to new challenges in the education and charity sector!
