I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Unequal childhoods: Why Europe must do better for its children - Philea
Children’s rights in Europe remain far too dependent on where a child happens to be born and on whether their government chooses to take its responsibilities seriously.

Why are so many disadvantaged and SEND learners excluded from the system? Why do so many YP disengage from school? We've had years of people saying curriculum and rigid approaches to behaviour are 'the answer' to solving disadvantage. It's about time we asked if they're part of the problem as well.
