With record school holiday fines issued in England in 2022-2023, figures due out later will tell us if the upward trend is continuing. We've been hearing from parents who say this is not just about cheap holidays. @kristianj23 @miguelrocadata @JPFagg bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

💬"People need to realise that actually we've been deprived from care and love and that is something we still need as adults." - Zoe, a #CareExperienced young person we work with. Read Zoe's story & support our campaign to #EndTheCareCliff: bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

ICYMI: 📰Harrowing story I worked on with @BBCEmilyUnia & @JPFagg Young care leavers aged 18-20 in England increasingly facing homelessness since 2019: 🔢 4,300 affected by April 2024 📊Represents a 54% increase since 2019 Read Zoe's story here 👇🏽 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Homelessness Minister @rushanaraali called the figures shocking, and said the government were "reversing the worst housing crisis in living history". Thanks to @miguelrocadata and @BBCEmilyUnia for their work on this story.

She isn't the only one. New government data shows 4,300 young care leavers faced homelessness in 2023-24. That's up 54% from 2018-19, a larger relative rise than seen by all young people. The charity @Become1992 are calling for change.

Zoe was 16 when she entered the care system. She was moved five times and tells us it left with "this fear of owning too much stuff in case I need to move". Now 21, she doesn't have her own home, and is waiting for suitable social housing. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

The Government's annual homelessness stats show over 4,300 young #CareLeavers facing homelessness, an increase of 54% in the last five years. @Become1992 is calling for change. More details from me 👇🏽 with help from @miguelrocadata and @JPFagg

young care leavers continue to face much higher rates of homelessness than the general population- from me, ⁦@JPFagg⁩ and ⁦@miguelrocadata⁩. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

🥾🌄Countryside campaigners are warning thousands of miles of footpaths could be lost, due to a massive backlog in local councils dealing with applications. My story with @miguelrocadata and @JPFagg - with input from @RamblersGB and @CLAtweets. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Countryside campaigners are concerned that many footpaths could be lost if councils can't clear a paperwork backlog - our latest piece with @BBCEmilyUnia and @miguelrocadata: bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Thank you to the women who shared their stories with us. A mental health practice due to be abolished more than three years ago is on the rise. It had been falling until recently. Rachel said her experience was dehumanising, but saved her life. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

One last tweet before I properly go on holiday: very proud of my team’s work here. Thanks to everyone who shared their experience and expertise with us.
