'Child Poverty in the North West' - Beverley Hughes
In the North West over a fifth of our children are living in poverty.
In some of our communities, as many as 65 per cent of children are living on the breadline.
And this region has one of the highest number of children living in workless households of anywhere in the country – with more than 600,000 people on working age benefits.
I think this leaves us with a stark choice – to tackle the problem or face its consequences.

'Statement on Safeguarding of Children' - Ed Balls

'National Education Business Partnership Network conference' - Sarah McCarthy-Fry
The global economic crisis has cast a long shadow over many organisations in the UK.
And at times like these, it can be difficult to think beyond short to medium term financial survival.
To think about the benefits of fostering closer relationships between schools and industry. To think about developing talent that might not bear fruit in weeks or months – but in years.
And that’s why today I want to discuss the nature of this relationship and how we can develop it in the future.

'Specialist Schools and Academies Trust Annual Conference' - Jim Knight
I am delighted and honoured to be asked to speak to you and what has become possibly the most important conference on the education calendar.
It is an extraordinary sign of your individual and collective success that this is the event that prime ministers and secretaries of state have been coming to set out their stall on education.
We’re living and working in a time of unprecedented opportunity.
With the rapid expansion of technology, innovation, and global partnerships, the world is becoming a smaller place, and opportunity is expanding.
