We're so disappointed to hear that the UK's Covid-19 Inquiry will not be fully considering the impact of the pandemic on people's mental health. We've signed this letter by Mind calling on the UK Covid-19 Inquiry to prioritise mental health 👇

If only the people stacking shelves on £11.44 an hour stacked twice as many shelves for their £11.44 an hour, they'd find it easier to afford their £1500 a month rent.

Child participation can look like many different things. There is strong evidence to suggest having their voice heard is beneficial to the child

Our report on child participation showed that almost 50% of children are not heard by courts at all: nuffieldfjo.org.uk/resource/uncov…

Five years' experience in #socialcare now gets you 8p an hour extra pay. Twelve months ago it was 6p. Who says the government's workforce plan isn't working?

Relevant to my recent swooning over Jennifer's '50 years in social work' video from Tom Stibbs - check out these films sharing fab research by Dr Laura Cook of UEA about *retaining experienced social workers*: researchinpractice.org.uk/all/content-pa…

Absolutely scathing report on operation of Home Office health and care visa policy by former Independent Chief Inspector of Borders and Immigration. Little wonder the home office sat on this for so long and have published just before Easter recess! gov.uk/government/pub…

Not for nothing was Home Office described as the Department for Sin but I can’t remember as devastating an indictment of any government department as this. As though #socialcare doesn’t have enough problems.

Really enjoyed spending today with middle leaders from Lewisham Council & partners, exploring #TransitionalSafeguarding and talking system change.
Hosted by Deptford Green school - it was so lovely to be amongst the chatter of young people learning all day.
Thanks for having us!
