Over recent days we have seen evidence of racism and Islamophobia. We stand in solidarity with communities who have faced intimidation directly or who now feel less safe. The places and communities affected will need support to repair the harm caused by this weekend’s violence.

The Children's Law Centre utterly condemns the violence that took place at the weekend and would like to reassert our support for our newcomer community. There is no place for hate in our society and the rights of refugees and asylum seekers must be protected.

Searing 1st hand account of how children are suffering in Gaza: "To try to manage children's pain with paracetamol when they've lost limbs is not ok. Children are in agony physically and mentally." Nurse Becky Platt, who works in our Emergency Health Unit, speaking on U105 Radio

We’re speaking to families impacted by the 2 child limit. We know this unfair policy will continue to be one of the main drivers of child poverty until the Government scrap it! Here’s what Mum Anna has told us. She wants to give her children the best childhoods possible!

Findings from Onward are another example of calls from across the political spectrum for Government to abolish the two-child limit. There is clear consensus that scrapping this cruel and unfair policy must be a priority at the Autumn Statement. theguardian.com/society/articl…

We’re speaking to families impacted by the 2 child limit. We know it’s a big driver of poverty and we’re continuing to call loudly for the Government to get rid of it! Mum Fran has shared with us. She’s doing her best but struggling with promises she can’t keep to her children.

Families are crying out for action on child poverty so we welcome further detail from the UK Government on their Child Poverty Taskforce. Yet this is no substitute for immediate change. Universal Credit's two-child limit must be scrapped at the #Budget. bit.ly/4dKvELi

Important interview Beyond Skin‼️We’ve been hearing the same from partners & families. We’re deeply concerned about the level of support for schools, families, children. There’s urgent need to ensure schools have support they need to be safe, inclusive, happy spaces for children.

Our hearts go out to this family who have to flee their home - and to all those living in fear because of recent racism and Islamophobia. We're grieved by the impact of this and want to commit to doing all we can to work towards a society where this simply does not happen.

NI businesswoman Louise McDonnell has raised a staggering £22k for our Gaza appeal. We want to applaud Louise and thank all those who supported her mega fundraising efforts to help children who continue to endure such horrendous suffering.

⚠️ Over 14,000 children have been killed in Gaza. Homes, schools and hospitals destroyed. @keir_starmer @davidlammy, now is not the time for half measures. The UK must suspend ALL arms to the Government of Israel. Watch and share our latest film with @oxfamGB. Gaza

We’re devastated that 12 lives have been lost after a boat sank in the English Channel, including six children and a pregnant woman. (1/3)

Surely clear ambitions on child poverty will be included in the detail of Stormont's Programme for Government. Poverty is at the heart of many of the priority issues mentioned. We can’t get to a situation where we accept the devastating fact that 1 in 4 children live in poverty.
