Please take a look at this video from @cfpjustice.bsky.social … I’ve been fortunate enough to work with young people at @iic-rights.bsky.social to provide their input in shaping the project.

Do you trust that the new Hillsborough Law can stop public officials from lying to the public?

Wishing all my friends here a happy Christmas time and best wishes for 2025. As in previous years, I have made donations to selected charities rather than send cards. This year I am supporting North East Autism Society, I.P.S.E.A and Epilepsy Society. @epilepsysociety.bsky.social

Please don’t expound the benefits of child participation while you develop laws & policies without them. An infographic explaining what you should do when you haven’t involved children on the right. The left is for those wanting to do their best to get it right- Lansdown’s 3Cs plus the Lundy Model.

Time to start over I guess. 🙂 Hi, I'm Darrell. I make stuff, mainly out of things you'd normally throw away. I work with children and young people, lots of them. I make 3D artwork, mainly in schools . . . and I make sculptures myself, share them online, and hopefully inspire others to have a go. 👍
