When the Howard League published an independent review of the use of restraint against children by Lord Carlile he found staff were too quick to resort to violence and that it was disproportionately used
against ethnic minority children and those with learning difficulties.
When poor
children are more likely to get sick and die than
children in wealthier neighborhoods just across town; when rural families are more likely to go without clean water; when
ethnic and religious
minorities, or people with disabilities, or people of different sexual orientations are discriminated
against or can't access education and opportunity — that holds all of us back.
