Three years ago, the British Academy published a report Reframing Childhood.
It was the outcome of a wide-ranging programme chaired by my noble friend
Lady Lister. Three themes emerged, each of relevance to this Bill. The first was
"being and becoming"; this drew attention to the importance of childhood as a state of being of great significance to the child. The final theme was "children's voices and participation", and the second was "children's rights" as articulated in the UN convention. This is missing from the Bill.
Baroness Blower references our report on Reframing Childhood in the Lords debate on the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

We #coproduce research, practice & interventions with lived experience experts.
Yet scientists don't #coproduce #policy priorities with policy/govt colleagues when writing our pubs (except in co-written reports)?
Can scientists check how policy-relevant their research may be? 🤔

Pope Francis funeral live: Pope's coffin at church for burial after journey through crowds in Rome
Guests at the funeral were earlier told of the Pope's call to 'build bridges', as Trump and Zelensky were pictured meeting inside St Peter's Basilica.
A great leader is lost.
Pope Francis built #bridges not divides, embraced #unity & #diversity as strengths not divisions and believed all religions & ppl must bring abt #peace & #harmony together.
You don't need to be Catholic to believe in this too.
#RIPPopeFrancis
