We asked all mayoral candidates to commit to a 5-point pledge to end #CCE & enslavement of young Londoners. @MsFarahLondon @LuisaPorritt & @ShaunBaileyUK have all committed. We hope all candidates for the #LondonMayor2021 feel strongly about protecting YP & making #London safe!
Homelessness after prison is a lose/lose for everyone in society. Here's more on why. @Clinks_Tweets @switchback @mattcracknell85 @RevDoors @TheHowardLeague @uservoiceorg @Nacro inews.co.uk/inews-lifestyl…

Great vaccination drive by @IslingtonBC to keep the fight against Covid-19 going! If you’re in Islington, go to @Arsenal stadium for your jab. Spread the word & let’s do our bit to protect loved ones & our communities.
More than 2000 people received their first dose of the Pfizer vaccine at the @Arsenal stadium yesterday. We are hoping for even more today - come on Islington! #GunnerGetJabbed #GrabAJab
Our work and campaigns really come from a place of experience. #CCE is a worthy cause to fight for, but more importantly, it is about saving children & young people. Sadia's a great advocate & affected mothers relate to her, because she knows their pain.
@SadiaMMCharity speaking about her own story and her work with @MM_Charity. Her experience with #countylines and own stories. Incredible story! #emergingdrugtrends21 @traversepeople @HattieResearch @rcpsychCCQI @NexusNPS
The longer @MayorofLondon ignores youth violence, the more stabbings in highly public places like #HydePark. Then the response will be to "get tough on crime", ie police target (mostly black) YP even more, while ignoring the root causes of the violence. Your methods don't work.
1. 🚩We need to stop pretending there are happy endings in Countylines (C)CE if YP/parents go down route x/charity or statutory intervention. 🚩Nor are there fairytale endings if YP/parents pays off drugdebts. If victims 'exit', it's mostly bc a YP was on periphery/not embedded
Our hearts go out to Richard's mum and family. There are no words💔 we hope they receive full support and answers from statutory bodies.
We're hoping that this isn't the case, but Richard's disappearance raises many #CCE red flags. Our recent @HuffPostUK articles with @Nadine_Writes highlighted how young people are trafficked using taxis & Essex is a county lines hotspot. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…
Our opinion piece on the police failing missing black YP & their families. We need @metpoliceuk to BELIEVE parents of black & mixed race YP when they report that their young person is missing & possibly in danger. #CCE huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/richard-…
Fantastic journalism @Nadine_Writes @journoramzy @MM_Charity looking in detail at the root cause of London’s epidemic of knife crime. A generation of young people being groomed and inextricably drawn into a business model which treats them with contempt. huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/county-l…
Aside from the truth of their account, @MM_Charity underlines the wider issue that incorrect analysis begets mistaken, even harmful, public policy. Great thread
In the winter of 2019, after a meeting with @metpoliceuk and being turned away, we knew we had to fight harder. No words can describe the frustration we felt, as we reached out to @journoramzy and @Nadine_Writes to tell the stories of child abuse & systemic negligence. /1
Charities need to take a cold hard look at their contribution to the problem. We need to stop overselling our services & becoming shields for statutory bodies to hide behind. Cronyism between big charities & elected officials/ top servants needs to end. #NoMagicBullet
Leading @HuffPostUK: this exc interview by @Nadine_Writes with the mum of murdered teenager Abdi Ali about all the chances missed to keep him safe. It's the final part of our collab with @MM_Charity about Britain's county lines gangs & it's heartbreaking bit.ly/3bUPsx4

Blind spots from police, social services and even charities are allowing child trafficking to thrive. Here's what needs to change.

you're extremely welcome, and thank you so much to you and the families you support for trusting us with these stories. What matters is what happens now as a result.
