Are you a professional working with young people? Do you have experiences regarding child financial exploitation? In January 2025, we are inviting practitioners and managers across England and Wales to take part in semi-structured interviews to tell us about their professional experiences of child exploitation. This will help to extend and enhance our understanding of financial exploitation and to build knowledge more widely, raise awareness and improve support to young people and families. If you're ready to offer your expertise — anonymously and confidentially — then fill out the form below 👇 https://lnkd.in/efMgVNKb

With talks of smartphone bans happening across the world, we ask the question: Should children have mobile phones? The answer is more complex than it might appear at first glance. We unpack the pros and cons of phones, and how the decisions we make need to include the voices and opinions of the young people being affected: https://lnkd.in/gSXU9BxF

The Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill is a great first step towards putting children and their wellbeing at the heart of government. However, to ensure the aim of the Bill is achieved, it must be underpinned by a national wellbeing measurement programme. This is vital for ensuring that children’s voices are at the heart of the process, informing policies and driving change.

We have a bold mission: to transform children's wellbeing by 2030. To make this vision a reality, we have teamed up with three passionate, creative partners who share our passion to drive real change with children and young people. Mark Russell, CEO at The Children's Society: "This process wasn’t just about picking the best pitch; it was about finding partners who can collaborate with us, who share our anger that life is too hard for too many children, who want to work with us to create something truly groundbreaking." Welcome on board Yonder Media, Smarts and MullenLowe UK! 👋 Ed Cox, Founder and Managing Director, Yonder Media: “This is one of those inspiring briefs that everyone wants to work on – a chance to use our comms skills for good and help The Children’s Society make real change happen.” Greg Jones, European CEO, Smarts: "We’ve loved the collaborative nature of this process and have been inspired by the passion and commitment of everyone at the charity. It’s rare that agencies get the opportunity to delivery truly transformative work for a client but – through a combination of culturally-enduring brand building and a sharp focus on fundraising – I’m confident we can help The Children’s Society achieve its incredibly important objectives.” Ben Shaw, Chief Strategy Officer, MullenLowe: “One of the most important briefs we’ll work on. One of the briefs we’ll be proudest to work on. The task is vast and needs big thinking built for impact at a cultural level - something we’re honoured we get to partner with The Children’s Society team on. Every moment of the pitch has been full of hope for tomorrow. We can’t wait to get started.” With these new partners, we will tackle systemic challenges affecting teenagers and young people through creative storytelling, media expertise and PR.

For many of us, some of our most joyful childhood memories are made at Christmas – spending time with family, decorating a tree, opening an advent calendar. But this year, thousands of children aren’t waiting for Father Christmas. They’re waiting desperately for support. Help a child get the early support they need: https://ow.ly/pQxi50UrCXH
