Call For General Election To Kick-Start Care Reform The country needs a General Election to save social care after another damning report exposed the sorry state of the sector, campaigners have said. A new report from the Local Government Association (LGA) highlights severe funding shortages, difficulties in staff recruitment, growing complexity of care needs and an inability to invest in preventative care. And it warns that a third of councils fear they will fail to meet the legal duties they were set under the Care Act, 10 years ago. The social care provider organisation, The Independent Care Group (ICG) says the report holds no surprises and that sweeping changes are long overdue. ICG Chair Mike Padgham said: “Today’s report from the LGA is depressingly familiar – we have seen dozens of these, all painting the bleakest of pictures of social care delivery over the past decade and more. “What it tells me is that we need change and we need it now.” “We are promised a General Election so let us have that without delay and let us hear from the political parties what they plan to do with social care to tackle the mess the sector is in at the moment.” “We need to hear concrete proposals as to how politicians plan to get care to the 1.6m who currently can’t get it, recruit 152,000 care staff to meet current demand, pay and reward the workforce properly and find the extra 440,000 staff we will need to meet growing demand by 2035”. “And we need to hold those politicians accountable.” He said he hoped the report, and others like it, would make the public wake up to the serious state of social care. “I think there is an assumption amongst people that care is available for them or their loved ones, when and where they need it,” Mr Padgham added. “Nothing could be further from the truth. We are heading towards care deserts and when people realise that they might start to agree with us that enough is enough and we need to see improvements.”  Read More:

⛔️ Leaders at the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) have urged political parties to focus on problem-solving rather than point-scoring, as the general election edges closer and waiting times remain at an “untenable and totally unacceptable” level. 🎯 The RCGP’s chair, Professor Kamila Hawthorne, has expressed concern that ‘vote winning’ may be front and centre of political thinking this month, leading to “gimmicky” and “unrealistic” targets that fail to address the root of the problems in general practice. 📈 The RCGP says that rising and increasingly complex workloads — along with a stagnant full-time equivalent workforce — are the main causes of patient access issues.

🌻 Children follow predictable patterns of physical growth and developmental milestones. 🌻 Understanding these patterns can be helpful for identifying potential concerns early. 🌻 While growth patterns and milestones are predictable, it is essential to recognise that every child is unique and may develop at a slightly different pace. 🌻 Significant deviations from the expected growth pattern may indicate underlying issues which may need further looking into. 🌻 Getting to the bottom of that significant deviation is important in order to support the child’s growth, development and well-being. 🎥 Ines, Senior Dietitian at Kids Dig Food Eat Happy ♡ The Kids Dig Food team . . . . . #KidsGrowth #GrowthChart #ChildGrowth #KidsDigFood #FamilyDietitian #PaediatricDietitian #KidsDietitian #FamilyFeeding #HelpForParents #HappyKids #HealthyKids #HAES #HealthAtEverySize #FussyEaters #FeedingTeens #ResponsiveFeeding #FeedingKids #FeedingTweens #WeightNeutralCare #EatingDisorders #FamilyMeals #EatingSkills #EatingIndependence #NonDiet #AllBodiesAreGoodBodies #WeightNeutralCare #WeightNeutralDietitians #NeuroDiversityAffirming #TraumaInformed #NeuroAffirming

Why can't reaction officers get involved in domestic cases? Domestic situations are personal and involve families, making intervention by reaction officers inappropriate. Remember, it's crucial to know who to call in such situations. For any domestic case, the police should always be your first call. #DomesticCases #PoliceFirst #SecurityResponse #CSSSecurity #SafetyFirst #CommunitySafety
