CALLING ALL: 🔔 Alternative Provision Providers 🔔 The time has come for Alternative Provision providers in your area to come together, connect and celebrate the best of what your county has to offer.  We know that AP Provision often works in silos, each service focusing on a particular aspect of a learner’s journey.   However, at Education Boutique we see powerful results (time and time again) when the different providers #collaborate.  That’s why we are putting on a series of Alternative Provision Conferences across the country, to facilitate connection, encourage conversations and share best practice with fellow local AP Providers. Whether you are a SENCO, caseworker, parent guardian, or other interested professional this event is for you. 💫 🗓️ We have the following in-person events confirmed:  26th April  - Bucks & Oxon 16th May - Surrey 13th June  - Leeds   11th July - Brighton  26th Sep - Bristol  17th Oct   - Leicester   14th Nov   - London 8th Jan 2025 - Berkshire Bookings for Bucks & Oxon event are now 💥 OPEN 💥and all other locations are coming soon. See comments ⬇️ for the link.

IF YOU ARE NOT PART OF A PERMANENT AND LASTING SOLUTION TO THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING CRISIS AND HOMELESSNESS, YOU ARE THE PROBLEM! THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX IS BROKEN AND NOT WORKING FOR AMERICAN TAXPAYERS Veteran Housing Corp would ask every TAXPAYER to demand and get answers from their elected and appointed government officials the below questions as they relate to any affordable, workforce, or supportive housing project in your community! 1. How much local, state, and federal funding, tax credits, or other government benefits or incentives did the project receive? 2. What is the affordability period for each project? Is the affordability period permanent and in perpetuity? 3. What guarantees exist have your local, state, and federal government officials obtained in writing that rents will not go up or that tenants will not be displaced or evicted after the "affordability period expires? Every local, state, and federal housing authority and affordable or workforce housing stakeholder should adopt the State of Vermont's "permanent affordability" policy as a model for all future government funded or subsidized housing projects or developments, no exceptions! https://lnkd.in/eFEUC8c8 Additionally, local, state and federal housing agencies should look to the Helsinki, FINLAND MODEL of ending homelessness by providing affordable housing for all 'It’s a miracle': Helsinki's radical solution to homelessness https://lnkd.in/er9HZSQU Even the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development AGREES THAT adopting FINLAND'S MODEL OF ERADICATING HOMELESSNESS may be of great value to resolving the affordable housing and homelessness crises in America https://lnkd.in/gkSZWYRU

Heading home from a bias-confirming day in #Westminster hosted by No5 Barristers' Chambers. We can choose to be blunt or sensitive about it, but a #supermajority of the audience agreed that #greenbelt is no longer fit for purpose and should be replaced by a new policy which covers the whole country rather than just 15 urban areas. The #greenbelt may be the best-known planning policy there is or ever has been, but it is fundamentally unfair, ignoring vast swathes of the country that are entitled to consideration just as much as anywhere else #leicester #lincoln #lancaster #ipswich #norwich #peterborough #stratford to name but a few. Stronger protections already exist in the #NPPF or via designation as an #AONB or #nationalpark. There are clear examples of where green belt is the most sustainable choice for much-needed publicly accessible open spaces, GP surgeries, schools, and yes, #homes, near to where people already live. Where we have existing public transport assets, we have a civic duty to make the most of them. Kudos to Turley planning aficionado Fiona Lee-McQueen MRTPI who was as eloquent as ever in making the case for a #newgovernment giving LPA officers “an out” in the short term to be able to approve applications now in order to deliver the #housing the country needs quickly rather than encouraging a #planningbyappeal system in which the only winners, perhaps ironically, are the #barristers. Thanks for hosting though!

The only way to truly understand the issue is by gaining insights from firsthand accounts. If you wish to understand the problem, engage directly with the people it's affecting. Sometimes people just need to be heard.
