The way a society cares for and nurtures its children is a direct reflection of its values, priorities, and sense of justice. Mandela’s words remind us that fostering and supporting children is not just an individual act of kindness but a societal responsibility. By nurturing the next generation, we are actively shaping the future and moving toward a more equitable and just society. When we invest in children's well-being, ensuring they have access to education, love, and opportunities, we lay the foundation for a fairer world, where everyone has the chance to thrive. #SupportTheNextGeneration #InvestInChildren #ChildrenAreTheFuture #SocietyAndChildren #NurturingYoungMinds #MandelaWisdom #EqualOpportunitiesForAll #FutureLeaders #JusticeAndEquity #CareForChildren #ChildhoodMatters #BuildingABetterWorld #LoveAndOpportunity #EducationForAll #CreatingABrightFuture #chrysaliscareinitiative

Today, we commemorate the historic day of school desegregation, a pivotal moment in our nation's journey toward equality and inclusion. On May 17, 1954, the U.S. Supreme Court decided that racial segregation of children in public schools was unconstitutional. At Crocus, we choose to use technology to make visible gaps that still exist in education and we are dedicated to leveraging data-driven strategies to create equitable opportunities for all students, fostering inclusive educational spaces to build a future where every child has the chance to reach their full potential. #wearecrocus #SchoolDesegregation #SchoolDesegregationRuling #EducationForAll #EquityInEducation #DiversityAndInclusion

Great that the DfE is looking at this, but how can it become real, impactful and not just a set of well-placed words? We know that it is the subtle messaging, the body language given to parents, and the encouragement parents are given to go elsewhere. These are often difficult to prove, evidence and call out. A big shout out for Luton schools here however. We have just short of a third of our mainstream schools with additional resourced provisions. We have classes for children with complex needs in our mainstream schools and some of the most inclusive and passionately inclusive provision we could expect to see. However, there is more to do as we work with our schools to set a Luton Inclusion benchmark and framework of universally inclusive provision we agree we want all schools to offer. Link this with openly transparent data, access to resources, and capacity to ensure inclusion, alongside an annual publicly available monitoring scorecard which includes student satisfaction with the way the school offers and promotes inclusion for all, and you set the expectation alongside accountability. #Luton2040Vision
