At the end of February, I ended up in A&E with what I thought was a heart attack. Since then, I've had three rounds of blood tests, each producing more questions. I went on to suffer extreme fatigue, nerve pain, joint pain, loss of appetite (lost 3kg) as well as insomnia, anxiety…
honored to have my article chosen as the editor's choice for the latest issue of @BJofSW. It deals with how living in 'permanent temporariness' (PT) shapes forced migrants lives, and how social workers can adopt PT as a framework for practice. academic.oup.com/bjsw/article/5…
Oh my Lordy Lordy
Hello everyone. Hope you're safe & well. It's been a while... We are proposing a special edition of CSP exploring the history, relationship & future of social work and sociology and invite you to join us putting it together. RT & get in touch to discuss! eventbrite.co.uk/e/proposal-for…
A great disappointment - direct from the ‘we know best’ school of thought Ruth Perry family furious as Ofsted single-word ratings are retained theguardian.com/politics/2024/…
Important @guardian letter from @LouiseMcGL pointing to research showing that the number of children who spend time in care is significantly higher than official statistics suggest theguardian.com/society/2024/a…
Nature has fractals. Cauliflower or broccoli are fractal patterns -- the small parts greatly resemble the whole. Our psyches are the same - the small events in childhood create patterns and we replay or re-experience the same patterns in our bigger adult lives.
A week after Radical Help was published Frank Field wrote to me with congratulations and his thoughts about what could be done next. It's just one small mark of his open, human and unwavering commitment to social change. He is much missed. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…
Thanks @KeeleyMP for highlighting the findings of our research in @HouseofCommons this week. It’s well past time that suicide & homicide risk in carers was discussed openly and definitely time for action to improve data collection & address the issue in health & social care.

That a man on trial for murdering and raping a young woman was NOT remanded and instead allowed out on bail is utterly staggering. A foul indictment of a justice system that routinely sees women as disposable and gives men, accused of these acts, freedom to do as they please...

Free Loaves on Fridays: 100 care experienced children and adults tell their story - Community Care communitycare.co.uk/2024/04/24/fre…
In pictures: the launch of 'Free Loaves on Fridays', a care-experienced anthology by @RebekahPierre92. Featuring readings from contributors, hosted by @lemnsissay at @FoundlingMuseum and in partnership with @JohnLewisRetail Happier Futures Programme. theguardian.com/society/2024/a…
📢#IMHAW2024 THEME LAUNCHED!📢 As we head towards a UK general election, this year's Infant Mental Health Awareness Week (10th-16th June) will call on candidates of all political parties to pledge to 'Speak up for babies'. Details & how to get involved👉bit.ly/42nUI63
Parents care about children's happiness NOW, whereas policy makers often miss this & focus on parents' work & children's later outcomes In the run-up to an election,will we see more discussion about the quality of childhood? Childhood is a time for "being" as well as "becoming"
Carers describe ‘avalanche of utter stress’ from Department for Work and Pensions clawing back benefits @Siobhan_ODwyer told @guardiannews that “this pursuit by the DWP is going to make carers feel more trapped and less supported" ⬇️ theguardian.com/society/2024/a…
Look what’s arrived! Just in time as we’re reimagining our transitions process at the moment. Excited to start reading.
Rhetoric about benefits will cause concern in mental health. It is the new stigma - mental illness as a way of evading responsibility - & many people may be caught up in its consequences. But - it pains me to say it - there’s a real issue here that we have to address. Short 🧵

Always good to see reports using the more inclusive term “Babies, children and young people’s mental health”. Without the “babies”, this foundational life stage will continue to be disregarded and we overlook babies’ needs for effective care. gov.uk/government/pub…
It seems implausible to me that children under 11 are the group with the lowest recorded incidence of physical abuse when we know that babies under 1 are the highest risk age group for homicide & serious assault. Abuse doesn’t stop at 1. Is this a recognition & reporting issue?

I could not agree more. Let’s start to hold men as equally accountable.

Lord Bamford, with a debt of £500,000,000 to HMRC, has retired from the House of Lords and absconded. He anticipates his debt, akin to Michelle Mone's £232,000,000 liability, to be nullified. It's imperative to retrieve every pound from these individuals and prosecute them.
