@UBSSW @socialworksage @SyracuseU Can we read some of your papers Tyrone? 🙏

@WarnerNell @CASCADEresearch @ResearchWales @j_scourfield @BecaCJ @SAILDatabank Really interested in finding out more about this. Wondering what factors increase the success of children returning home and how local authorities compare.

Thank you Franklyn Addo

Last year the #contextualsafeguarding team reached a similar conclusion after two years of test work in London.

Learnt today in work that health professionals are worried about an increase in deaths of babies due to parents co sleeping. The worries are parents will make this decision to keep their babies warm when unable to heat their homes #BrokenBritain #socialwork #unacceptable

Labour ideals of fairness and equality have been at the core of my life. I’m standing to be the next Labour MP for Sheffield Central to support the city that has supported me.

Please join me, in taking on this great challenge.

For Sheffield. For Labour.

She was groomed by dark-money lobby groups working for Big Tobacco, Big Oil and foreign oligarchs. Now Liz Truss is in office and trashing this country on their behalf.

Deleted tweet by @Deliveroo. Realised that making fun of workers being forced to work for multiple apps at the same time because pay is so bad wasn't the best idea? Multi-apping is incredibly stressful & if workers were paid enough & not denied basic rights, they wouldnt do it!

@ShellEnergyHome Been trying to submit my meter readings since Friday with no luck. Website keeps crashing and then telling me that my account doesn’t exist 🤷🏻‍♀️

@RichardDevineSW I love this!

This is alarming: a Cambian children's home manager seems to have become an Ofsted inspector via a pilot scheme with some of the biggest private providers of children's homes. Private equity right at the heart of the (already precarious) inspection regime.

@theshedbarry We came for dinner last night and were told you were closing for good? We came last year, food and service were excellent.,, last night was disappointing to say the least!

@DunelmUK how do I get in contact re a damaged garden set I received?

[Donald Forrester @DonaldForr]

We need to move away from blaming social workers and other professionals and think afresh about how we can help families and protect children in Wales
