I was a Public Health Consultant but would rather describe myself as a Salutogenic Engineer with a passion for housing, homelessness and health inequalities
#HomeFor10 - perhaps we discussed the solutions in 2015 in the Commission on Housing and Wellbeing - a blueprint for Scotland’s future. Check out Recommendations 17 - 27 in that doc. 😀
#HomeFor10 - building a Romanesque aquaduct infrastructure to provide a ‘Public Good’ ie fresh water to its citizens now and forever. How does Scotland start today to ‘build a systemic housing infrastructure’ to provide the Public Good called Shelter, Safety, Warmth (ie a Home)?
As the sun sets...I hope tomorrow is a new dawn for council housing and truly affordable housing across Britain. Enough is enough. We need to end the worst housing and affordability crisis Britain has ever seen!… https://t.co/GXnlG95uGZ
Looking forward to meeting everyone at our framing conference we're hosting today in Glasgow! Check out our toolkit which provides practical advice on #talkingaboutpoverty in a way that builds public will to #solveukpoverty: https://t.co/d6PEFUFKE5.
JRF event today #TalkingAboutPoverty to examine how we reframe society to care for those who live without opportunity & assets - be that cash in hand, paycheck, or the hope that today will be better that yesterday. Chimes perfectly to address conclusions in #HardEdgesScotland
Today we are launching Hard Edges Scotland, a new report highlighting the complexity of people's lives who experience severe and multiple disadvantage north of the border.
More to come but first here's a link to read the report

Really good to see #HardEdgesScotland report published today. 'Most people interviewed had had difficult early lives involving a range of adverse childhood experiences...' Lots in here about poverty, violence and how services and society respond to multiple disadvantage.
Solid Salutogenic Summary - well done ACMD on your report into drug misuse and homelessness. “Respect, choice, dignity & the uniqueness of the person should be at the core of the design and delivery of the service provision in respect of substance use and homelessness services”
@saket_sanju SO delighted to see this report to which I contributed see the light of day and illuminate the reality that secure housing is the #BedrocktoWellbeing
@mrsruthrobin More evidence that #healthyhousing is the bedrock for wellbeing to flourish across the life course no matter your age, stage or health state.
