This post (6 of 8) discusses how children are shaped by economic systems, particularly through technology and food, which influence their desires and behaviours. It highlights the negative impacts of social media and ultra-processed foods on mental and physical health, advocating for reforms that consider these market incentives to foster genuine belonging and well-being.

Creativity, Arts, and the Formation of the Human
This post (3 of 8 in a SEND reform series) argues that creativity is not merely an enrichment in education but essential for human development. Since the introduction of the EBacc in 2010, there has been a decline in arts education, particularly in state schools. This marginalisation risks reducing the understanding of personhood and spiritual formation, limiting both cognitive and social growth.
