A new proposal in Nebraska could reshape parenting laws by urging courts to consider research that suggests children thrive with equal access to both parents—sparking heated debates among lawmakers.

Supporters said it would reduce administrative barriers; state health officials warned prior authorization and enrollment rules remain in either system.

Climate literacy as safeguarding: What reasonable professional responsibility looks like The final part of the "This isn't activism, it's duty of care". Here I propose five 'reasonable responsibilties' of educators regarding climate change and its impact on children. By combining the three reports explored, we recognise children's emotional connections to nature, school systems' contributions to environmental issues, and officially recognised ecological risks. Rather than advocating for heroic actions, I call for acknowledgment of climate-related concerns, careful language, and institutional honesty. The aim is to cultivate climate literacy without placing undue burden on students, grounding responsibilities in shared, reasonable actions rather than individual blame.

Final post of the series. Safeguarding rarely arrives with sirens. Children already care. Risks are now formally recognised. Schools sit inside these systems. What does 'reasonable responsibility' look like?

Delegate Dahlia Clark's groundbreaking proposal for universal, free health coverage for Virginia's children is on hold, but the debate over 9,000 uninsured kids is just heating up!
