I'm back for Day 2 with really interesting discussions on contextual safeguarding #ADCS24
Day 2 of @ADCStweets conference and the first session is on keeping children and young people safe in their communities. #ADCS24

.@RebekahPierre92 gets a laugh when asked what her message to new gov would be. 'Please practice what you preach.. the last gov saw 10 ministers in 10 years, yet they kept preaching about social work workforce stability' #ADCS24
I'm @ADCStweets conference 2024 - we've heard from President Andy Smith, new Ed Sec @bphillipsonMP and seen a very moving presentation from care-experienced young people from Derby 🥺. More throughout the next few days.
Staffordshire's Bernie Brown says children in need of Tier 3 and 4 beds in specialist settings are being failed by ICB system. Tolley says her views are shared by the room.

AS: Earlier this year, #ADCS24 published a paper called Childhood Matters, it is an urgent call to arms to put children and families at the heart of all national policy decisions... I shared these statistics back in April and I’m doing so again as quite frankly, they are shameful

Great piece by @_amritvirdi on why party manifestos need a greater focus on health visiting to support young children. This has been called for by @NSPCC and @iHealthVisiting cypnow.co.uk/news/article/se…
