It’s vile isn’t it, but it’s so important we keep calling this out, when it’s safe to do so.

Absolutely. And, depressingly, this type of behaviour is still rife 🤬

Families queuing for food distribution on the grounds of a former carpark at a theme park, now used as a Turkish Red Crescent camp to house some of the tens of thousands of people displaced by the earthquakes in Osmaniye, southern Turkey.

The Prince and Princess of Wales joined two pupils from Waldegrave School; Dila Kaya, 14 (L), Lina Alkutubi, 15 (R), and their teacher Natasha Rustam to help make an origami crane, a symbol of hope and healing during challenging times.

Muayad (24), a health care worker specialising in the older people, sits with Ahmed* (70) and his wife Farida* (52) in the middle of their tent, preforming a blood pressure test for Ahmed.

Sevda, her daughter and an Oxfam aid worker in Oxfam’s KEDV Women and Children's Centre in Hatay container camp.

Thanks to generous donations, the DEC Turkey-Syria Earthquake Appeal has helped over 4.6 million people with life-saving aid and long-term support.

The appeal has closed, but DEC charities and their local partners continue to help families rebuild their lives ➡️ www.dec.org.uk/appeal/turke...

Lib Dem peer suspended again over harassment allegations The party says it

In 2008 I was 25 and I walked into formal work dinner with my line manager, read the table plan, and his words to me were ‘Oof, you’re next to Chris Rennard. Be careful, he’s got busy hands’.

We must do better for women in public and political life.

Diolch John Griffiths MS for recognising the impact of 14-16 provision, including Junior Apprenticeships. These programmes are highly effective in re-engaging learners at risk of becoming NEET, improving attainment, and supporting progression into post-16 options. youtu.be/mG4HBLn4vIo

Diolch @alexdaviesjones.bsky.social 🙏

We were pleased to attend the College Alliance @aoc-info.bsky.social International Conference at Coleg Cambria last week, bringing together college leaders, policymakers and international partners to explore how #furthereducation can support learners, communities and economies across borders.

Thank you to Natasha Asghar MS for raising this vital issue during yesterday's budget debate. We have previously warned Welsh Government that the funding gap risks shutting young people out of education. We now urge all parties to work together to protect learners, skills, and Wales’ future economy.

Learner voice at the heart of policy 👏

#Furthereducation learners from across Wales took centre stage at the final Cross-Party Group on FE and Skills this @Senedd.Wales term, sharing honest insights on post-16 education - from access to guidance to wellbeing and widening participation.
