Had one of those ''sentencing deprivation' days when you feel as a Youth Offending worker that there are just too many pieces to be picked up from a society whose main way of dealing with child poverty (in all its forms - financial, emotional, social) is to punish, censure and blame those who are mired in its state. Interesting, whilst we all gorged ourselves on Thatcher's carcass , that the UNICEF report on Child Wellbeing flew in under the radar - UK worst at Further Education opportunities; UK highest number of Young People not in Education Employment or Training(NEET - or maybe not so neat)... recent gains on child poverty reversed under the Coalition...government cuts related to low well-being among teenagers...C'mon Labour...C'mon Millipeed minor forget Sideshow Mags get back into the trenches and do something about child poverty.
