So where are they and who are they?

What bedroom are they in staring at a mobile phone and what's going on in their lives?

I worry for them...

from a slightly different perspective, a sort of loneliness, lack of contact with humanity.

So it's quite a big number out of that million needs.

You've got a third that aren't taking anybody's money.

They're not working and they're not in education.

That's a lot of young people I would have.

And I, yeah, I worry about what's going on in their heads and are they okay and are we supporting the parents to have those conversations with those young people, basically.

Well...

So the ones I've been responsible for, so apart from doing work, I've done various reviews and inspections.

And I would say some you're asked to do because there's a crisis and you're called in to deal with something big that nobody has dealt with or is a big news issue.

And so somebody like me is asked to come and look at that.

So grooming gangs last year when obviously we had Elon Musk made it an existential issue, but it was a huge issue anyway that we should have done something about.

So some are reactive and some like Alan Milburn's and my social care commission are.

are proactive, so they're looking at something and thinking, we haven't solved it, what do we do about?

And I would say the frustrations, because that's the only way to describe it, of whether you've looked at something in a crisis situation and made some very significant recommendations that you want enacted,

That's one thing.

And then ones going forward are slightly different because normally you're more sort of campaign and lobbying the government.

Whereas if somebody's asked me to look at like girls who've been sexually exploited and we as a society haven't seen it, haven't we done anything about it that's good enough?
