SUMMARY:Facebook Has No Standards
DESCRIPTION:PODCAST \nFacebook Has No Standards Each time we report a post on Facebook citing hate speech towards disabled people\, the response is that it doesn’t breach Facebook’s Community Standards. How can they have standards when they allow hate speech to remain on their platform? \nThrough our #FacebookHasNoStandards campaign we’re taking on Facebook and pushing for them to change their reporting system to Facebook a safer place for disabled people. \nTake 30 minutes of your day to listen to our stories of times people have made assumptions about us because of our disability\, find out why we’re putting Nick Clegg in a giant game of Where’s Wally and how you can play a part in making sure social media platforms are a safe place for everyone. \nAbout the speakers \nAbout Joey  \nI’m Joey\, I’m 23 years old and I work for the NHS.

SUMMARY:More than a statistic
DESCRIPTION:Podcast \nMore than a statisticHeadlines about young people with lived experience of care focus on the negatives. We’re told they’re trouble-makers\, don’t do well at school\, live their lives on benefits and getting mixed up in crime. Does that truly reflect young people’s experiences? Or\, does each young person\, with support\, have the power to set their own path? A trio of young people from VOYPIC\, the charity for children and young people with lived experience of care in Northern Ireland\, discuss their experiences of care\, and where their path is leading\, hearing from care experienced adults about the routes they have taken. They are determined to be more than a statistic. \nAbout the speakers \nAbout Martha \nHi\, My name is Martha and I am 24 years old. I am a Young Leader in Voice of Young People in Care (VOYPIC).

So far I have achieved 7 GCSEs (A-C)\, a Double Award A Level in Health and Social Care\, a HNC in Health and Social Care and a HNC in Social and community Work. \nAbout Matthew \nHi\,My name is Matthew\, I’m 20 years old. I’ve been in kinship care for over 10 plus years\, and I’ve been a young leader for VOYPIC for three years and involved in VOYPIC for 8 years.
