@Rachel_deSouza is the Childrens commissioner, her role it to hold government to account regarding policy impact on children

What we do get is "No ifs no buts"

We get a double page spread from an ARK head

Covid is becoming a virus we can live with but schools will maintain good hygiene

Heres a corker

Covid will now be treated like other diseases
All at risk children 12+ will have been offered a jab

Ignores that many are still waiting to get that jab and the list was too narrow

Well she's not going to raise the issue of allowing close contacts into schools without a test, because she was one of the people calling for this to happen

Without adequate safeguards institutional abuse will always happen

Children's commissioner is supposed to be one of those safeguards

She want to amplify children's voices? I suggest students start writing to her to tell her what they think
