Feeling very positive about new term. But we can’t forget about the safety issues for some young people in our borough.
@thejohnsimpson’s #storiesofourtimes podcast about CJ Davis brings back all the horror of the murder of a boy of 14.

All of us working with young people in @NewhamLondon need to keep asking what we have done to prevent further murders of young people in our borough.
Hoping we can continue our work with @telcocitizens and others to ensure young people’s voices are heard.

But we also need to keep asking why so many in our borough won’t go to the police, and to push back against the normalisation of violence. Schools in Newham are safe, but we want our students to be safe going to and from school as well.
