‘What does it mean to be alive?’ This question came from a child and inspired a story and the animation film. #Marandon #HåkonHoffart #KINDknow #BARNkunne youtu.be/PlEgisPFVi4?...

NEW: Sure Start generated widespread, long-lasting benefits for children in education, health, absences, and SEND.

Every £1 of up-front spending on Sure Start could generate around £2 in total benefits over the long run.

THREAD on our new ‪@nuffieldfoundation.org‬-funded report:

[1/11]
Chart shows the effects of Sure Start on academic achievements by age, SEN support by age, probability of hospitalisation by age and criminal behaviour up to age 16.

University access matters - but it’s often out of reach for people seeking sanctuary.

Our new video and comic explain the barriers, and show how universities can be part of the solution.
