Councils: We really struggle to find ways to improve engagement & co-production uptake for social care so we can hear people's views. 😭 Us: You undertake so called 'person-centred' assessments / reviews for all potential & existing social care users. Are you not listening? 🤔

Read this important letter from our brave @BarnetCouncil mental health social work team who are feeling the brunt of our council's refusal to acknowledge a fundamental problem in social care for both service users and workforce. We stand with them fully.

“66% of Mental Health social workers in post since 1 January 2023 will have left Barnet Council within the space of last 12 months”. rb.gy/ry223z @CommunityCare @mithransamuel @BarnetPost @SimonAllin3 #CostOfLivingCrisis #EnoughIsEnough

Outstanding article in @CommunityCare about our #BarnetUNISON social work strike. Inside a social work strike: the staff fighting for a ‘safe service’ communitycare.co.uk/2023/10/31/ins… @wylie_alan @holly_kal @ShowsPromise @BarnetForum @Barneteye @_MrMustard @BrokenBarnet @ReasonableNB

Read this to know why and what needs to change campaignrealcare.org

@barnetcouncil claim all Care Act requirements are being met. Wellbeing areas set out in the Act include dignity, physical/emotional wellbeing, choice/control and protection from abuse and neglect. The inhumane and degrading instances in this piece tell a very different story...

#BarnetUNISON picket lines are back. Join our Mental Health social workers in their fight for Fair Pay. @unisontheunion @NolanLibby @steviecnorth @HounslowUNISON @HackneyUNISON @unison_glasgow @organiserjo @HaveringUnison #BarnetStrikers #CostOfLivingCrisis #EnoughIsEnough

This is disgraceful and what makes this even more abhorrent is that @NorfolkCC are paying double what she's asking for for the privilege of denying Christine her rights! Read Christine's case study on our website campaignrealcare.org/casestudies We must expose the TRUTH!
