“A child should only have to ask for help once.” A study in @NatureHumBehav estimates 1 in 5 women and 1 in 6 men experienced sexual violence before 18. Thank you @wearepsychreg for including my comments. Adults must listen and act. psychreg.org/1-in-5-women-e… @FreedomCharity @ANEETAPREM

Have all our children come back?

27 children aged five or under.
62 aged ten or under.
At least 100 aged twelve or under.
New forced-marriage referral figures should make us ask a wider safeguarding question:
What happens when a child expected back after summer does not return?

I am calling for a national safeguarding return check so vulnerable children do not disappear between systems.

@FreedomCharity NEW: Forced Marriage Figures 2025 show that 40% of tailored assistance cases involved children aged 17 and under.

This is not a private family matter. It is child protection.

The 2025 figures also show:

• 1,295 FMU contacts
• 406 tailored assistance cases
• 79% of victims were in the UK when referred
• 64% were British nationals
• 14% had no overseas element

Forced marriage can happen within reach of UK safeguarding systems.
Then, the third reply with the school's image:
Only 6% of referrals came from education professionals, despite 40% of tailored assistance cases involving children.
Schools may be the only safe place where a child is seen away from family pressure.
Early recognition can prevent harm. @ANEETAPREM

Proud to host tonight’s Trigeminal Neuralgia webinar with @g_lambru . We had 244 Zoom log-ins, but the true audience was far bigger, with many families watching together on one screen. Thank you to everyone who joined us. #TrigeminalNeuralgia @ANEETAPREM

@FreedomCharity International Day of Education 2026 is not a slogan. Young people must be able to co-create safety too. Here is why Not in My Name starts with boys, and what schools can do next: freedomcharity.org.uk/international-… @aneetaprem @InternationalDayofEducation
