See 🧵 for Oxford Research Impact Event highlights!
DClin Psyc trainees and speakers presented their brilliant research, shared insights into best practice, & highlighted the value of lived experience.
Thank you @AChurchard @ Fiona Symington for co-organising and hosting!

Homelessness 👏 is 👏 not 👏 a 👏 crime.

The UK Government seems to think it should be. Join us in taking action to stop their plans to criminalise homelessness via the Criminal Justice Bill.

I'm so grateful for everyone's kind help here, thank you!
We are still needing participants, so if you know anyone with lived experience of homelessness, please ask them to contact me ([email protected]).
Thank you so much, everyone 🙏🩵

The average age of death among people experiencing homelessness in the UK is 47 for men, and 43 for women. 47 and 43.

The UK Government is trying to pass new laws that would criminalise sleeping on the streets with a fine up to £2,500, or even prison.

[Anna Tickle @DrAntick]

There's all sorts of reasons this is not okay, even if well intended

[Muslims In Clinical Psychology @MuslimsDclinPsy]

Almost 2 weeks ago, we wrote an open letter to all #Dclinpsy courses regarding the silence on 🇵🇸

We emailed every single course & have only received one response thus far. This silence in response in of itself exemplifies the issues mentioned below ⬇️

Open letter asking the @BPSOfficial to issue a statement calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.

“As psychologists, and as fellow humans, we cannot be
silent whilst a genocide unfolds before us.”

[Ellie McNeil (she/her) @EllieYMCA]

Homelessness is about so much more than needing a home, it’s about trauma, adversity, exclusion, neglect, a lifetime of system failures, a lack of good enough early life care, poverty, deprivation, a failure of public & social policy. It is not a lifestyle choice.

[Eimear Galvin @EimearGalvin2]

Cruel and ill-informed take. Perhaps take a few minutes to consider the multifaceted and traumatising factors which would lead anyone to ‘choose’ to sleep rough, rather than making sweeping, erroneous statements to incite further stigma towards some of our most vulnerable people.

[Suella Braverman @SuellaBraverman]

The British people are compassionate. We will always support those who are genuinely homeless. But we cannot allow our streets to be taken over by rows of tents occupied by people, many of them from abroad, living on the streets as a lifestyle choice. 1/4

1 in 50 Londoners is now homeless. On average at least one child in every London classroom is homeless.

This is an absolute scandal & should be front page news. The number of homeless residents in temporary accommodation in London is now just under 170,000. 83,500 are children
