Today I launch my landmark dataset: The Childhood Lottery.📍
Children feel it's harder to grow up in some places than others. Now I've brought together the evidence showing what a child’s experience is like in every postcode.
Full report👉🏼 childrenscommissioner.gov.uk…
The findings of my new report were stark. It shows the postcode lottery for children is very real – and not simply explained by poverty. I want to thank everyone for engaging and highlight some interesting points raised about the report in my blog👇🏼

I was pleased to contribute to the Bell review. School is where children should feel safest. But I was shocked by the abuse and antisemitism faced by Jewish children. The recommendations must lead to better protection for children and more support for teachers.
The journey home from the hospital after being born is the most important one a child will make.📍

Georgia Gould: The Child Lottery exposes how infrastructure around children and families has been cut back. Gov working to help young people thrive across the board. Young people tell me they want decisions taken closer to home by local leaders, so services respond to challenges.
