Naomi explains to #SOC20 attendees that "COVID-19 has meant that commissioners have been keen to see how we can adapt our service delivery at speed, and share that learning, shifting the focus away from some overly bureacratic restrictions and allowing us to help more people."

There have lots of lessons learned in this area during lockdown, she continues, urging that "we would like to see how we can, collectively, learn from improvements to relational contracting seen during the pandemic - from the perspective of commissioners and providers." #SOC20

"Despite contractual restrictions we continue to push for a relational approach with commissioners, utilising innovative approaches to public service delivery", she concludes, highlighting our objective to "always put the people we exist to help at the centre of delivery." #SOC20

Public services like those delivered Catch22 must meet the needs of commissioners as well as the people our services exist to serve. In this article for Civil Society I look at the importance of relationships in these contracts to create social change: bit.ly/2E3aAUZ

Delighted to have the opportunity to lead such a fantastic organisation. Thank you to all our trustees, staff, service users and stakeholders who make this an amazing place to work. It’s not just a job it’s a vocation 🙌🤗

We’re launching a new service to help children who’ve been abused by county lines drug gangs here in Kent. Catch22 will work with victims who’ve been exploited by the gangs and give them hope for the future. Welcome to the fold! @KentVru Kent Police (UK) @matthewscottpcc

Great discussion on women in tech with Women in Technology. Awesome to know Catch22 is living its values in this space. Talent creation not just consumption 👏🏾.

Great to hear from Josh MacAlister MP and members of The independent review of children's social care expert panel today. Naomi Hulston pledges that we'll continue to support young care leavers through the National Leaving Care Benchmarking Forum, nlcbf, including helping them to secure meaningful employment.

Catch22 is made up of over 1,500 people from all over the country. We reflect the communities we work in and believe diversity makes us stronger. For #PrideMonth, two members of our LGBT+ Reps team - Chloe Ashdown and @RachaelMillmoor - share what makes them proud to be LGBTQ+.

Excited by this discussion and how we can galvanise towards a future and workforce where green jobs are the norm and routes are clear. Employment, underemployment and the environment are key issues we cannot ignore.

Wow, just special and very well deserved 👏🙌⭐️
