Dr Helen Hodges

A fantastic Workshop at #IPDLN2024 this morning focusing on linked administrative education and health data to explore the following question... How can we better initiate and run international collaborations using linked health and education data? #DataLinkage

Had a great (albeit slightly nerve wracking) time presenting some of the findings from my PhD at #IPDLN24 this afternoon. Now time to go and explore Chicago!

Third and final presentation done at #IPDLN24. Was so excited to talk about this piece of work I did as part of the small grants funding from @WGSSSDTP 🧵

Thank you for your great infographic @FYI_Change. Children's issues & concerns must not be made invisible due to their inability to vote - we also urge all parties to listen to children & prioritise realising their rights. #UNCRC #ChildRights 👇👇

Rounding out of first day we are thrilled to be joined by @Mike_J_Allen to discuss working across sectors and having good ideas @UniofExeter @SeaweedGen #welshcrucible #crucible24

Time for round 2, this time in gorgeous Bangor! We're are catching up on what our fabulous bunch have gotten up to in the time since lab 1 - it's only been the weeks, but they've done one hell of a lot! @BangorUni #crucible24 #welshcrucible

Speed collaboration in practice! #crucible24 #welshcrucible @AberUni @BangorUni @cardiffmet @cardiffuni @SwanseaUni @UniSouthWales @HEFCW

🎉 Today, we'd like to celebrate the incredible impact of CASCADE Voices! Their insights and experiences have shaped our research and inspired change in children's social care. Learn more about them here: cascadewales.org/10-years-of-ca… #PublicInvolvement #CASCADE10 @VoicesFromCare

@ChildrenHandS Such an incredibly important and sadly massively overlooked issue …

🚨We are releasing our film 'Invisible Children' this evening at 6.30pm. 🚨 The film can be viewed at this link below: youtube.com/watch?v=LsAaWC… This film demonstrates the importance of identification and support for children with a parent in prison. It highlights the need for this issue to be raised in Parliament and for immediate policy change to be enacted. Thank you to @KerryMP, who will be bringing forward a 10 Minute Rule Bill on parental imprisonment next Tuesday the 21st of May. Thank you to @Rachel_deSouza for supporting this Bill.

@welshcrucible @cardiffuni It’s been a long but fantastic day meeting lots of interesting people and finding out about their research.

🧒📊 Our updated statistical briefing on care experienced children in Wales includes data on: ➡️ the numbers of children ➡️ their experiences in care ➡️ the care system and spending . 👉tinyurl.com/2r74b8dd (1/5)🧵

‘Call to arms’ fellow @gov_analysis @GSR_UK & analysts/evaluators more widely - admin data is a resource - @adr_uk is leading use of it for public good - thanks for covering @TheSRAOrg Research Matters magazine - let’s all try to do more to advocate / use, & improve lives

@MakingsOfMRDR do you have a view either way about the naming of under 18s who have been convicted of murder and the post trial ‘reveal’ of information about their backgrounds?

Please see blog from me & @Bromebyd on promoting a #ChildRights approach to #EndChildPoverty – we need more transparency on budgets & more accountability from duty bearers, demonstrating that ending child poverty & fulfilling #ChildRights, are obligations that must be met.👇

The @WalesHrcypObs would like to express their heartfelt thanks to @askelton_CCL @UNChildRights1 for delivering such a powerful and thought-provoking annual lecture. We also thank everyone who attended online; a copy of the video + transcription will be available in due course.

Hear Jonathan Scourfield's (@j_scourfield) recent conversation with @FacultiNet, in which he discusses the Flying Start early years programme and child welfare intervention rates within certain areas of Wales. faculti.net/are-child-welf… #ResearchWales #FlyingStartWales #WelshGov

Massive thank you to @Andibrierley for his discussion of our @adr_uk policy briefing published last week. @CJJFitzpatrick and I wanted the briefing to highlight system failures, as opposed to individual-level issues, and to reiterate that over-representation is not inevitable.

@British_Airways would it be possible to have an update for the 38 passengers bumped off BA8472? We are still waiting in arrivals for the bus the Rome. No one is speaking to us!
