@Harr_Ferguson Some social workers / professionals / managers are struggling to … in fact cannot, afford to pay their bills. These are conversations I have had. Intersectionality, poverty, intergenerational legacies …

@Harr_Ferguson Happening in early help family support too Harry. In many LAs, families working with early help may not have access to s17 material support funds (or equivalent) either. Which could become a big problem.

@MartinBirch15 That looked a fab night out with great ideas #lovethehats

A social work manager on how the vulnerable are suffering: "SWs are asking how are the families going to manage & there is no answer. We try to find ways to give them 20 quid for electric, but that'll have to stop. Some already don’t put their gas on, it’s going to be hard"

Some people are in London today protesting about “lockdown” and being offered a vaccine. More people in London are working, seeing friends and family, shopping, drinking in pubs and eating in restaurants. Which is nice.
