This year, we have introduced a new award to recognise our staff's commitment and dedication to our sustainability and #netzero promise. Our first ever Outstanding Sustainability Award goes to the Anaesthetics and Climate Emergency (ACE) team! Well done team!

We also need more evaluation of different types of support for #KinshipCarers, but first need to know that evaluation would be possible. This is why we're commissioning @Coram to conduct a feasibility study of a #KinshipCare mediation pilot. Read now: foundations.org.uk/our-work/resea… 4/

We're committed to building an understanding of what works for #KinshipFamilies, so that families are offered support that is most likely to improve outcomes. This is why we are launching two new #KinshipCare projects. #KinshipCareWeek 1/

Prof Ruth Gilbert from @UCLchildhealth showed that longitudinal data reveals the magnitude of issues eg children who’ve been ‘in need’ before their 18th birthday. Looking at annual totals can cause us to underestimate how many children are affected #SocialCareDataVis2018

Head of Evaluation @coram Dr Jeff Mesie concludes that we should be looking at serious events in social care before harm has occurred to focus on systems rather than individual blame at #SocialCareDataVis2018 event
