theguardian.com/society/2024/m… How sad, Christopher Sidle died after having a psychotic episode. The crisis team refused to admit him. That’s despite his sister, a Consultant Neurologist with experience of psychosis begging for help. Is there actually any service for these people?

Today's poverty stats from the DWP are horrendous.

4.3 million children in relative poverty - the highest ever
3.6 million children in absolute poverty - up 300k

2.2 million children living in 'food insecure' households
820k children living in households that use foodbanks

Happy Social Work Day to all the brilliant social workers out there!

We need one of you to lead our Southwark team. It is a CMHT (integrated with ASC), supporting people with mental illness who are experiencing homelessness. Please DM me if you’re interested! It’s a great team☺️

I wrote to The Times about prison releases to the streets, following up on Rachel Turner yesterday. If anyone can suggest what else can be done about this, please let me know!

14 years of austerity have led us to here. A country whose impoverished kids are too hungry, cold & exhausted to learn. Whose teachers have to feed, clothe & wash them.

Every MP who ever championed such cruel & vindictive policies should be hanging their heads in shame.

What an incredible first day at the Pathway conference. Delighted to launch our first Homeless and Inclusion Health Barometer, describing the system failure afflicting access to healthcare for people facing homelessness and other excluded groups.

Poor night’s sleep after reading this 1957 novel about waiting for the end of the world after nuclear war. (I don’t think Shute would be impressed with the internet)
