Works with families to address the harm caused by parental substance misuse

[Options180 @options180]

"I love my daughter more than I ever thought it was possible to love another person, but I didn’t get sober for her. I did it because I finally learned—after 35 years—how to love myself.." #inspiringstories

"I was unprepared to be faced with a bunch of perfectly normal, completely together women casually talking about needing to do the thing that I knew could unravel me"

@CarolineSSLynch This is great and not before time👏🏽👏🏽

[Junior Smart @_JuniorSmart]

Whatever you think you know about families caught up in exploitation. Whatever you think you know about what solutions would be great for them.
Unless you are sitting down with them. Unless you have listened.
Unless you are prepared to try and feel what they feel.

Fully agree!

[Family Rights Group @FamilyRightsGp]

With the number of children in care at its highest for 35 years, and the pandemic increasing the pressure and strain on families and on children's services, this is very concerning.

[Ange @AngellaWells]

New from SCIE: This quick guide will help social workers and social care practitioners understand how to gather evidence and information virtually, so they are able to identify and assess risks normally gathered through observation.

Much needed CCE resource to support and protect vulnerable young people #restart360 #creativeresponses

[Restart360 @restart360]

Keeping CCE within the news, however the headline of the article, would suggest that drugs within higher education is a new phenomenon. Teachers & establishments need better training regarding how to deal with it. #CountyLines #restart360 https://t.co/t6et91yg8S

Child protection conferences by phone...'this must not become the new normal'. Agreed #familyrightsgroup #childfocused #familylives

[Family Rights Group @FamilyRightsGp]

Interesting article quotes our chief exec. "Some social workers (are) going above & beyond...But we are regularly finding child protection conferences are being held by phone, with parents often unclear as to who is even in the room...this must not become the new normal”
