Demand for mental health services is expected to increase. The Government need to take urgent action to make sure all young people get the support they need, when they need it, no matter what. https://t.co/qku8gTevSz

We're often asked, “what does regulation do for me?”. In the first of a series of blogs, Phil Hallam, our executive director of registration, quality assurance and legal, sets out what it means to be registered as part of a regulated profession. https://t.co/HYDCFbBd1U

Tomorrow @FamilyRightsGp will be publishing advice to parents, whose children are in the care system, on ways to support their child during the crisis, even when they can't visit them. V much hope it will also guide councils, social workers' & carers' practice.

Great to hear Aimee, keep up the FAB work. Would be very easy to stop FGC's given the complexity of having a virtual meeting. Guess it wouldn't work in all circumstances but soooo important to trust families and problem solve!!!! Brilliant.

[Karyn @yee_king1]

Such a different and positive response from our new Social Work regulator today when I telephoned our S West lead and she answered! and not only that we had a very collaborative discussion- thank you @SocialWorkEng and Philippa Geddes @AdultPSWNetwork @LynRomeo_CSW

[Anne Longfield @annelongfield]

Does anyone think that kids growing up without the security of knowing there will be food in the cupboard or on the table is acceptable? No? Then politicians need to choose to properly tackle poverty & commit to access to healthy food.

Know this... we are changing the face of recovery, which in turn fights the stigma of addiction... each and every time we stand up and say, “I will NOT be ashamed of my story!”

Sounds like it'll be a a fascinating radio programme tomorrow Mon at 8pm. Narrated by @DCSLeeds, chair of the Care Crisis Review, it will examine the doubling in new born babies being taken into care over the last decade. https://t.co/HbfbiWxNBg
