“Things we once took for granted, like family support, children’s centres and respite care for families with disabled children are now the privilege of the few. In some areas of the country, over half the children are growing up in poverty”. theguardian.com/society/2018…
There is compelling evidence that the services and support that children rely on are at breaking point. More than 120 organisations are asking for the Government to put #ChildrenAtTheHeart of its spending decisions. #Budget2018 bit.ly/2COlaNB @AnnaFeuchtwang

Great piece by @jomillerdonny & a call to share good practice with @Solace_UK: "This goes for good practice & case studies in children’s services & schools, but also in housing, parks, urban design & civic participation." lgcplus.com/services/childre…

Just another day at the office @NHSMKCCG @NHSEngland #NHS70 nitter.gq/NHSMKCCG/status/101485…
Matt Ashton sharing how @KnowsleyCouncil adopt a public health approach to domestic abuse. YES! More of this please! #adcsconf18
Powerful words from President of @ADCStweets on the need to better prioritise child health locally & nationally at #ADCSconf18. Very welcome rallying cry to tackle #childpoverty before 5.2 mill children live in poverty by 2022. #ChildHealthMatters adcs.org.uk/assets/documenta… nitter.gq/ADCStweets/status/1014…
SG: I’d like to move on now to another extremely complicated landscape, our health service. The NHS is 70 and the envy of the world, its budget is £100bn, how much is spent on children? No one knows, the best guess is £9bn #adcsconf18

Culture eats strategy and practice models for breakfast! Getting the culture right means a relentless focus on not just doing the right thing in the right way but ensuring that everyone understands why it is the right thing nitter.gq/jackytiotto/status/100…
Replying to @SteveWLeeds
#leadership @JackyTiotto as a local authority trying to implement a practice framework,we have learned that the hardest part is remembering to lead it well (constant feedback seeking), accepting that leaders have to change (that’s hard) & provoking the cultural change every day!
