Britain’s public services are staggering under the weight of hardship as primary schools and primary healthcare divert their resources to the needs of those struggling to afford the essentials Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) newest report shows the impact of hardship on primary schools and primary healthcare.

Westmorland and Furness Council is making positive progress towards its priorities for the year, a new report has highlighted. Earlier this year, the unitary authority set out its priority projects for 2024/25. Now a report on the Council Plan Delivery Framework’s 10 missions reports positive steps to achieving those goals for residents, communities and businesses. The quarterly Corporate Performance Report is the first focussed on the transformational objectives set by the council and covers the period from April to July. It uses measurement against 70 performance indicators and 101 actions to give effective scrutiny of progression on council priorities. In summary, 28 indicators with a target were reported to be performing well and had either met or were on track to meet the planned milestone, four were in progress and 16 were not expected to be fully delivered as intended. 22 were data only metrics with no target set. Ninety out of the 101 actions were performing well and met or were on target to meet the planned milestone. The council’s 10 mission areas for 24/25 are communities, environment, growth, connections, homes, learning, care (children), care (adults), health and well-being, culture and effective services. Missions which have seen the most progress against indicators are growth and children’s care. Read the full story: https://lnkd.in/ejCuXSJ5

Family-centred service is a great idea but... what do you do when there's not enough money/time/organizational buy-in/staff support/etc? For those of you attending the #EACD meetings next week, check out #CanChild's course on "Family-Centred Service: Modern Developments". Peter Rosenbaum, Olaf Kraus de Camargo, Rachel Teplicky, Kim Hesketh, and Elizabeth Chambers (nee Zahorchak) will be chatting about: i) what components of care families find important and desirable; ii) where the barriers lie to providing the kind of care we would like to provide; and iii) how we can use approaches from implementation science to address at least some of these barriers.

August is Civic Health Month, a nationwide celebration held to showcase the strengthening relationship between health care, healthy communities, and civic participation. Civic health refers to how communities come together to identify and address public issues, as defined by the National Conference on Citizenship. It is measured through social connections, community involvement, and political participation. The Wisconsin 2024 Civic Health Challenge encourages residents to actively contribute to their community's civic health through daily challenges centered on four themes: social connection, community connection, voting, and political engagement. https://lnkd.in/gSJ4KSrW

Love to see transit advocacy emerging in Utah! "A coalition of Utah stakeholders is launching the "Campaign for Public Transit in the 435," which will aim to bring better forms of transit to those who live in rural areas and engage legislators in the process...Lack of transportation can mean Utahns can experience challenges in securing a job because they can't get to work, to not being able to attend medical appointments as well as not seeing family and friends. A survey from Guiding our Growth found those in rural Utah strongly supported implementing public transportation, and investing in passenger rail came in a close second." https://lnkd.in/ez_3sSjA
