We asked 200 young people (14-25) in North Kent if they feel safe in 2023/24. Many who don’t feel safe say there aren’t enough police. Alarmingly, 10% said they would carry a knife to feel safe . This has to change. @pcc_kent @george__holt @Kelly_Grehan @KarenSandland

“A 6-year-old groomed into county lines—this is the harsh reality we’re facing. Our mission to combat child criminal exploitation now starts as early as primary schools, targeting ages 6 and up. Through drama, rap, and the arts, we’re educating children in their language.

@MoJGovUK Why close prisons if there's not enough beds, why recall prisoners unnecessarily, tackle reoffending and homelessness & reunite families The criminal justice system should match the crime, social action sentences, early interventions and prevention investment is needed

Sending your children out and showing them how to break the law does not mean you get away with it. Parents will live with their children’s criminal record of violence , attempted murder, arson and anti social behaviour !

"Prisons are closing because we can't afford to run them, yet they are also full and need to be emptied. Which one is it? 🤔 #CriminalJustice #PrisonReform"

@_JuniorSmart It’s truly appalling !

Am I the only one feeling slightly sick at the profits announced by the energy companies this morning on #BBCBreakfast? £22.3bn pounds as a cause of celebration whilst families are suffering and children going hungry. Can that ever be right?

Very true for many years the Probation service is Offender supervision , not rehabilitation 🙌🏽

From escaping knifemen to being trapped with 'zombie' like addicts for days & brutal attacks. The brave young men (and parents) I spoke to detailed a harrowing & grim picture of #countylinesgangs. #crime #drugs #countylines @refocusx @lennox_rodgers @sonyajonesshrop @WeAreWithYou

Great achievement from the Co- founder of Refocus Project Ltd , this book has been impacting on so many young lives and will do even more now we have an audio version & a hardback , pls share and retweet 🙏

A very exciting new youth led pilot, not funded yet, evolved from the recent death locally. This is a great tool for youth in Dartford & surrounding areas. An opportunity for them to talk, sing, Rap & use arts to express trauma. Thank you for all those who regularly donate 🙌🏽

A huge thank you for support our partnership cause - for young people & families 🏆

2 weeks since an 18yr old was murdered in Dartford. V sad to see this happen in Dartford. However as a result youth have been coming together & discussing ways forward. Main issues youth are talking about is, identity, affirmation, loneliness , culture, nurturing & support.

Our volunteers , mums, staff and community have spent the last week working with the young people who have lost their friend in Dartford. A crowd of balloons were let off in his memory with their personal messages & memories. As the mum sadly said she hopes this stops others

What a week, after an intense week of mentoring and school , very excited to be recording a audio version of my book this week #breakingbetter with @Laura_Makela at @bonnierbooks_uk we know it will extend its reach to a whole new cohort of people #prison #youngpeople

On 8th March the world celebrates the social, economic, cultural & political achievements of women. Throughout this week we'll be speaking to inspirational female charity leaders in Kent to ask what #InternationalWomensDay means to them. First up Bali Rodgers of @Safercalliance
