I find myself agreeing with a lot of what Kemi Badenoch is saying about children and social media. It seems to me parents would welcome a cross-party consensus around much bolder action.

As a youth and education charity tackling educational inequality through full-time mentoring in schools, we see firsthand the difference a trusted adult can make. Having someone outside of home who listens, believes in you, and champions your potential can be transformative – in the classroom and far beyond. We’re excited by the strategy’s commitment to expanding access to trusted adults, youth hubs and enriching opportunities, and we’re ready to play our part in turning this ambitious vision into action. Keeping young people at the heart of delivery will be essential to ensuring it achieves real, lasting change. #NationalYouthStrategy #CityYearUK #MentoringMatters #EmpoweringYouth
