Things that caught my attention this week (details in the comments): 1. The number of children in care homes increased by 23% in England between 2013-2023, spending by councils is growing faster than for adult social care. But there aren’t enough foster carers or children’s homes, and where there are, the economics of running these services means there’s a regional mismatch between providers and service users, leaving some areas less well served. (Big shout out to Hannah Asquith and team doing great work with Youth Concern) 2. Lord Ed Vaizey is putting out some helpful posts as election campaigning gets underway, digging a little into the policy issues being discussed by the main parties. His post this week showing some of the nuances around NHS waiting lists is worth a read. 3. Quibble about the exact temperatures but Delhi suffered an unbearable heatwave. Power demand surged and water was rationed. Reading about it reminded me of the shocking opening chapter of Kim Stanley Robinson’s novel Ministry for the Future, which is a recommended read for anybody interested in the climate crisis. 4. One man in South Africa has led a community effort to redevelop an abandoned park in Johannesburg, which had become a no-go area thanks to rampant crime. Inspirational leadership! #socialcare #nhs #climate #communityprojects Anything I write on this platform is purely personal and nothing to do with my professional role.

It took 50,000 signatures to convince Mayor Tory a few years back to open the armouries. We won that campaign. Please consider signing my petition to convince Mayor Olivia Chow and city council to KEEP warming centres open. "There is no right to shelter in the City of Toronto. Mayor Olivia Chow's budget must fix this. Shelters are full with close to 10,000 people in them. 'Temporary' low-barrier, congregate respite sites, now employed for over six years, have lower standards are also full. (see video in link). Warming centres, that operate with even lower public health standards, are routinely full WHEN THEY OPEN, usually only when it is -5C.  The City of Toronto is now using Toronto Transit buses to provide shelter to people instead of indoor spaces with cots, showers, meals and care. The result: ill health, infections including COVID, cold injuries, deprivation of the human spirit, forced outdoor sleeping, death. Is the City of Toronto this morally bankrupt that they cannot provide the most basic human need - shelter? Mayor Chow has the opportunity to fix this with her budget. Until the city's shelter and housing crisis is resolved she must direct the warming centres to open and stay open 24/7." 🖊 here: https://chng.it/nC7xVkb8sL

We meet people where they're at ❤️ That’s why we work to provide basic needs of food, shelter, health, and safety. When individuals are unable to meet their immediate needs, it becomes more difficult to focus on long-term goals such as employment, housing, or education. #basicneeds #community #judgmentfreezone

This is why we must build more social and affordable homes.

How would you like to be supported when you experience early distress? The Department of Health, Tasmania, in partnership with Everymind and the Tasmanian Culture Care Connect Program, invite Tasmanians to share their thoughts on the design of a new early distress support service. The new service would support Tasmanians when they experience hard times in life. This might include when they are going through a relationship breakdown or recent unemployment. It might also include when they are accessing workers compensation or experiencing housing stress or homelessness. It would support people before they are in crisis to prevent the worsening of their distress and reduce the need to access clinical or emergency services.
