People do stupid criminal things. The criminal record associated with a criminal conviction should not be a life sentence. People can and do want to move on. Join www.fairchecks.org.uk to change the DBS system www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

If the Prime Minister will not speak up for the people living through a genocide in Gaza and under siege in the West Bank, then we absolutely must continue to raise our voices for them.

🚨Lord Woodley’s Bill to end the cruel & monumental injustice of the #IPPscandal has passed its 2nd Reading. The question now is will the Prime Minister do the right thing & give the Bill government time for a full & proper Committee Stage?

Let’s not wait for the next ITV drama to do what’s right
If passed Lord Woodley’s Bill will end one of the most shocking & monumental injustices of the past half century - the #IPPscandal & head off the medium-term prison capacity crisis at the same time.

Let’s not wait for the next ITV drama to do what’s right

A useful post on Safety Plans and a link to the website with more information #distress #SuicidalThoughts
Safety Plans should be like fingerprints - bespoke and unique to each person:
•Not a one size fits all
•Coproduced with trust and compassion
•May look simple but include actions to safely navigate distress and suicidal thoughts
Don’t have one? StayingSafe.net can help you make your own #SafetyPlan
