We see so many people closed to mental health services for 'disengagement' when it seems to be more that the services don't know how to engage with the person. With the extremely pressures on the system, nobody has the time or resources to try :(

Absolutely! I know some amazing social workers that have come via a probation route :) and some current probation officers who are really social workers at the core

This is what we have been saying for years across the social care sector, both children's and adults. SureStart worked, schemes like this work. We need to be better

Yes, agree whole πŸ’œ the idea of specialist PQ training would certainly appeal to a number of social workers who have an interest in working in criminal justice and may help current probation staff to get the support they need to practice in a way that aligns with their values

YES!! Whole heatedly agree with this, I started my social work career in Scotland in Criminal Justice and know the benefits of that approach to probation.

Shelter condemns β€˜shocking’ 14% rise in homelessness across England Charity says soaring private rents, rising evictions and lack of affordable social housing are to blame

Homelessness is not just a housing issueβ€”it’s a symptom of our deeply individualist society. We need more than homes; we need a shift toward a collective mindset that prioritises solidarity, community, and shared responsibility. #Homelessness #SocialChange

I am delivering a session to SW students tomorrow on decision making, it has got me thinking about the training our health based colleagues get on making decisions it feels there is a significant difference in approaches between health and social care, any thoughts? #SocialWork #RightsBasedPractice

I was also trained that it is much more likely to a close family member or friend. The stranger danger fixation has likely hindered people learning how to spot signs at home and keep kids safe :/ wasn't there a Brass Eye on this very topic?
