Deaths of people sleeping rough up 42% according to @our_MoH
This rise is tragic. It's important that every death is investigated with a safeguarding adult review so that we can prevent people from prematurely losing their lives in future.

📣 New guidance for #schools in England to support #children who have a parent in #prison. The guidance aims to help #teachers remove the stigma associated with parental imprisonment. Read more: https://t.co/VhcVo6XE1u
Imprisonment is a form of maternal deprivation. Residential community based alternatives where children are not separated are appropriate and necessary to reduce the harms inflicted of maternal imprisonment. 3/3
No official data is collected on how many children are impacted by parental imprisonment. @PRTuk estimates 17K children are impacted by maternal imprisonment in UK each year. The global knowledge base on the impacts on their life outcomes is tiny. 2/3 https://t.co/ckeK2MOPDM
Evidence has been mounting that carers who come to the UK on the health & care visa are being subjected to exploitation & fraud.
We can now reveal this is in large part due to a visa design that punishes workers for whistleblowing🧵

🚨ALERT! Police have issued a section 35 dispersal order and are forcing people experiencing homelessness to move or face arrest.
This is outrageous from @CamdenCouncil. @MPSCamden must immediately halt this operation. We call on all to get down and help resist.
Most of us buy fruit and veg from supermarkets but do we know the realities the workers picking our food face at the farms across the country? Investigation by @Mellino reveals state-sponsored exploitation. A must read.
Over the past year we've uncovered how the UK's seasonal worker visa is riddled with exploitation.
Today we can reveal that the Home Office knew workers were being mistreated, failed to investigate & then tried to stop the allegations from coming to light
