The Ram Raid Bill risks fast tracking our kids into the justice system, it doesn't address any of the core reasons why children cause harm, and thus fails to respond to what is happening in our communities. To solve these key challenges we must begin responding to what is happening within our communities, stop reacting, and instead create policy grounded in evidence and informed by those with lived experience. This is why over 20 organizations advocating for and supporting children and young people began this petition. We know change is possible for our kids. We know we can build stronger, thriving communities where everyone feels safe, supported, and connected. But to do so we need our political leaders to lay down the "Tough on Crime" rhetoric and instead commit to working together to develop a unified, evidence backed, lived experience informed, response. You can support us by sharing and signing this petition, and turning up on June 26th, 12pm at Parliament, to send a message to our political leaders - we want our Politicians to move past the rhetoric, listen to the evidence, and work together to respond!

Executive Director at National Homelessness Law Center (formerly the National Law Center on Homelessness & Poverty)
Housing is Health Care. ✅ Being forced to sleep outside - because you have nowhere else to go - is harmful to your health. ✅ When communities fail to provide housing or shelter to all residents, they are hurting the health of their unhoused residents. ✅ When communities penalize people for being forced to sleep outside, they are punishing them for having no other choice. This is what's at issue in the SCOTUS #HomelessCrueltyCase Join me and other health justice advocates to discuss what's on the horizon for 2024, including how Johnson v. Grants Pass affects #healthjustice.

In our latest report, Care For Our Future: The roadmap to a sustainable future for adult social care, Care England calls on the next Government to deliver a fully-mapped prevention and integration plan within five years of entering office. This long-term strategy must be aimed at developing a holistic approach that supports individuals before, during and after they enter the social care, while empowering individuals to remain fully integrated in society and live in dignity, independent of their health or dependency status.

Spoke with 95bfm about our petition calling for an end to the Ram Raid Bill. The Bill creates a false perception that it is capable of increasing community safety. However, by fast tracking kids into the criminal justice system, it risks fracturing our communities further and causing greater harm in our communities. Many of our political leaders are not being honest with us about how we solve these challenges. Harsher, more punitive approaches don't prevent the behaviour the community is concerned about, because these are not actions or decisions being made in rationale, adult, developed minds. This behaviour is arising from traumatized children, children who are disabled, who are being abused, who are in poverty, who are mentally unwell, children who need our love and support. That may be hard to swallow, especially if your family or business has suffered also, but it doesn’t make it any less true. In the end, if we want stronger, more connected communities, we won't build them through revenge based policies that ignore the evidence and contribute to the problem. You can't solve an issue by ignoring what is causing it in the first place. There's a lot we can do to respond to the challenges our communities are facing, the Ram Raid Bill is not the on. Sign and share our petition and than join us at Parliament on the 26th June, 12pm: https://lnkd.in/gaZw9Ace https://lnkd.in/g8wxnji8

Day 9 of #16Days: investing in communities. Our public health approach champions a whole picture view of #DomesticAbuse, at a local level. We've already worked across 15 local authorities in England & Wales to help embed whole family thinking and placing the authentic voice of survivors at the heart of recommendations to shape a more effective response to domestic abuse locally. Investing in our public health approach also pays back. Preliminary pilots undertaken by the Social Value Engine show a £7.72 return for every £1 invested, demonstrating both the social and economic value of this approach.
