Great day interviewing with @walsallyjs and some exciting times ahead!

[Daniel Wilkes @dan_wilkes]

Here we go again 🙄.

I'm not sure how a 37/41 indefinite hospital order can be considered "unduly lenient". I look forward to the Attorney General trying to explain this obviously politically motivated appeal to the Court.

Got some feedback from someone we helped to avoid a "specialist" hospital placement. From triple figure bed days to 0. If we can help you, your relative or a patient you're working with to avoid or come back from placement, do get in touch. 🙂

Thank you @_YJB for the opportunity talk about our work with @rickyotto67, @openlensmedia & @j5teadman supporting overrepresented boys in the community & the secure estate! Great to be up there listening and learning from colleagues from @WestMidsPCC & @haringeycouncil.

One of our children recently utilised their Release on Temporary Licence (ROTL) to attend their driving theory test.

This is something of a first for us at Wetherby, and will pave the way for other children in custody.

It's #NationalPuzzleDay a great opportunity to unwind with a puzzle.

Playing games and puzzles can help to distract from unhelpful thoughts and can promote calmness and relaxation

Here's a fun puzzle from us to you!

A devastating state of affairs - so many incredible NHS folk continuing to give whilst sacrificing themselves. This is not what anyone signs up for!

I’m a Paramedic.
Today, I’ve fed, watered and toileted patients in the back of a van.
I’m in the 14th hour of a 12 hour shift and 9th in the queue at a hospital it takes an hour to drive back from.

A job I used to enjoy, I’ve begun to regularly hate.

Our team ID board

Can you spot the issue?

This morning a new member wrote everyone’s first name but mine was title & surname

This instantly creates a potentially steep hierarchy with new team members who might not feel able to speak up with concerns

We’ve changed it now 😀

Right care, right person launches in London today

Means police will limit calls they respond to (see pic)

NHS says 8 in 10 people sectioned would benefit more from community support than hospital admission

Key test will be if community services (where available) have capacity
