The #TurinDeclaration calls for strong, inclusive care systems that empower families & carers
EU & national leaders need to:
🟠Deliver an EU Care Deal

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.
