Without real-life role models or father figures, boys turn online for direction💻

There, they encounter an alluring mix of both positive and harmful messages.

👨‍👦We must restore role models, purpose and aspiration to boys at home, school and work.

Attended a brilliant and profoundly moving event by @csjthinktank.bsky.social at the #ldconf last night on their report ‘The Lost Boys’ on what has happened and is happening with boys and men in our country. As I said in a question to the panel, it’s is amazing to see so many people caring so much.

Parents whose children are taking unauthorised absences could be required to participate in attendance awareness training, similar to courses given to speeding motorists, according to a @csjthinktank.bsky.social report

Introduce attendance awareness classes for parents, says report

Report calls for action to reestablish the importance of school attendance amid concerns that almost half of parents think it is 'reasonable' for a child to be persistently absent

With economic inactivity falling among 35–49s, it is those on either side of the labour market falling out of work📉

Alongside the Future Workforce Credit, we’re calling for fit-note reform to keep experience in the economy and sustain the benefits of good work post-50👨👇
