@asifamhp @MentalHealthCop And as always they stepped up to the mark. Great bunch of staff

[Nismum @nismum]

@asifamhp @MentalHealthCop Absolutely.

[Nismum @nismum]

@MentalHealthCop @asifamhp It was made to a specific hospital. Service user remained in family home with ASWs present 24/7. Review and med changes by psychiatrist but not optimum treatment.

[Nismum @nismum]

@asifamhp @MentalHealthCop Thanks. We often sign form to admit with no bed. Recently we waited 8 days with a service user until bed was made available. Reassessed twice and then continuation form used. 24 hour a day coverage by ASWs. Good to catch up with colleagues and look at differences in practice

[Nismum @nismum]

@asifamhp @MentalHealthCop Mindful it's different legislation. We don't have the option of detaining to ED.

[Nismum @nismum]

@asifamhp @MentalHealthCop Can I check something? I'm in NI so different legislation. Under MHA if there's no bed you can't section? I've started to see a trend emerging here of no bed, not assessing and I've always held there is a legal obligation to assess no matter the resource issue. 1/1

@carolynewart looks like our colleague wasn't premature in her predictions😀

[Nismum @nismum]

@travell1ngl1ght And when so many rights for women are under attack so important to do everything within our powers to keep the freedoms so hard fought for

[Nismum @nismum]

This is so obvious. We need to work out how to recognise and challenge toxic cultures. People protect people not policy, not lots of paperwork. People need supported to speak up

[IASW @IASW_IRL]

IASW Chairperson @VGeiran says that scathing review by @JackieMcIlroy2 for @HSELive on the lack of protections for vulnerable adults in nursing homes and other settings offers “a clear roadmap” to make vital improvements: https://t.co/rk0wQybYoM #AdultSafeguarding

[Nismum @nismum]

@AoCuana @IASW_IRL @VGeiran @JackieMcIlroy2 @HSELive How we do that I don't know but that is what will make the difference

[Nismum @nismum]

@AoCuana @IASW_IRL @VGeiran @JackieMcIlroy2 @HSELive What is clear from Winterbourne through to Muckamore, to misquote Drucker, culture eats policy for breakfast. We're not going to make progress in adult safeguarding until we are sure toxic cultures are uncovered and challenged and that people feel safe to speak up
