Welcome to Christmas Week.
Charity 4Children will be publishing a report on an Inquiry they have launched called, “Britain’s Families: Thriving Or Surviving?” in the New Year.
The report aims to explore the challenges and opportunities experienced by families in England, Scotland and Wales, and to see if families are reaping any of the benefits from perceived economic recovery.
The inquiry, which has been set to run for 6 months, and which still appears to be taking submissions, invites parents, carers and all those under the age of 21 to have their say.
The site also has information on a poll they carried out focusing on families and current and future standards of living, as well as quality of life issues.
The launch of this report will take place on Tuesday 26th January, 2016 at 9am in the Jubilee Room in the House of Commons. This is an open event, so if you would like to attend, please RSVP to: thrivingorsurviving@4children.org.uk
Our question to you then, is just this: do you think families are surviving or thriving in Britain today?
A very big thank you to DadsHouse CEO Billy McGranaghan for sharing this item with us.

Lord Janner dead – The Independent
http://www.independent.co.uk › News › People
1 day ago – Lord Janner, the Labour peer accused of a string of child sex abuse offences dating back 50 years, has died without having to face a court to answer the claims of a dozen alleged victims. … The death of Greville Janner, a Labour MP from 1970 to 1997, was described as “devastating …
Bloody amazing how them in the Lords and Commons who for years have sexually abused so many kids in care and the kids have to remain as they always have been THE SILENT WITNESSES, SO LORD JANNER IS DEAD I wonder how true that is and do remember all of the other Lords Etc who were accused of child abuse and suddenly all died, Can you imagine the pay out for the victims who were abused by these perverts one thing every one has to remember is that the Insurance company works hand in glove with the governments so we are not only talking about the kids who are a multibillion pound industry we are also talking about Mr Tony Blaire who is part of the Insurance company who insures every kid in care and boy if the victims were allowed to prove what the perverts in Governments had done to the kids maybe Blaire will lose his untold pay outs every year with the Insurance company going broke so there will be more deaths like Janner to come or do they just disappear LIKE IT WAS REPORTED MARA HINDLY HAD DIED, no way could that women have been paroled with so many kids still missing on the Moors and as I know THRUTH she had many contacts in high places so lets tell the Nation she died, In the 70s I opened a hostel in Holloway for the women being released from Holloway prison.
NOW I ASK YOU ALL TO DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH AND THEN TO KNOW THAT EVERY KID IN CARE IS COVERED BY AN INSURANCE SAME AS THE STAFF AND THE REST OF THE BLOODY ARMY ALL
“IN A CHILD’S BEST INTEREST”
SO WHO IS CLAIMING THE INSURANCE MONEY WHEN KIDS ARE TRAFFICKED ABUSED MURDERD, WELL IT IS NOT THE FAMILIES BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT AWARE THEIR KIDS IN CARE WHO ARE INSURED,

In 2009 Save the Children wrote a report advocating “Keeping children out of Institutions”. They challenged Governments to rethink their policies and look to more family based care. What changed? More kids into foster care but not to birth families!

Families in Britain today are barely existing let alone surviving!
A decade ago food banks hardly existed but over a million people used them in the year 2013-2014 and it’s rising! That’s not to say that they were not needed before but now they exist you can keep a record of how many are using them.
Poverty has increased.
More suicides. Last year 24,000 kids tried to kill themselves, that’s 1 child every 22 minutes!
Self harming, anti social behaviour, underage sex, criminal behaviour are top of the league.
More kids in care. Consistantly bad outcomes for the children. Abuses of children in care. 1 in 4!
More illnesses, mental & physical, attributed to children.
Children found to be unhappy generally. Britain’s kids are far more unhappy than other countries.
Higher rates of drugs & alcohol abuse.
Lack of care for both children and adults by those tasked to care for them.
Working adults on benefits as they are only paid minimum wage or on short or zero hours.
People cannot afford to buy their own homes, so rent at inflated prices.
The poorer families in social housing are being rehomed out of London as they no longer can afford to live in London as the rents are so high. A form of social cleansing.
Google. “Why are children today so unhappy” by Sue Palmer. She gives more depth in her article as to why families are struggling in our “affluent” society!
