Therapy dog joy at Salford Children’s Services #Appreciation of SW Week @SlingerJane

Been on a few trains today and they have been late, cancelled, overcrowded and expensive. Hard to see why I shouldn’t use the car @thetrainline

More good news for children's social care announced: 🪙 Gov' investing £250m into new Family Help services next year- doubling direct prevention spend! 🎯 This will be part of a new formula focussing money where it's most needed 🔒 Funding will be ringfenced for prevention

@anglou74 @AmandaCCorcoran Well done!! X

Marcus Rashford visits my nephews school in Wythenshawe once or twice a fortnight. He's funded all their books and helps out with money for school trips etc etc. Never uploads for PR like some slate him for, genuinely a top guy who cares for those less fortunate.

In preparation for Mental Health Day we started by appreciating our social workers and reminding them to look after themselves first. Mental health matters. Love Salford. @SlingerJane @SalfordCouncil

To mark #BlackHistoryMonth2024, I took a group of amazing students from @RCDivineMercy on a tour of our city-centre to learn about how, in 1862, the humble cotton-workers of Manchester took a stand and refused to handle slave-picked cotton.👇🏻

Can you #help please? My elderly parents have gone missing in #Venice They got separated & my dad (with Alzheimer’s) has both their phones. They didn’t arrive back at the pick up point & no one knows where they are. They’re called Bronwen and Stan. Please share!

Happy Friday everyone! 🌹🙌🏻

Benjamin Zephaniah "If you didn't have troublemakers, most women wouldn't have the right to vote, a black person wouldn't be talking to a white person and I'd be back in slavery. We need troublemakers to challenge the establishment. I want to be one of those people."

Women. Please register to vote…

Manchester is & always will be ❤️

Always remembered ❤

The Daily Mail has now published more than 80 articles on Angela Rayner selling a former council house. And none on the four Tory MPs who made profits of £5.4m selling second homes subsidised by parliamentary expenses.

@meeryp @PathwaysSW @MattJClayton Very disappointed for all of us social work managers and for your organisation too

Also made clear our deep disappointment at the recent decision to end @PathwaysSW leadership programme in July. Given the challenges clearly outlined, we are very concerned about leadership development in the sector. Thanks to @MattJClayton and others for their support.

Thanks @CommonsEd for the opportunity to speak about the children's social care workforce yesterday, with @MattJClayton and Lucille Allain. We talked through a number of key issue facing the sector - recruitment and retention, early careers framework, leadership and culture.
