Hundreds of social workers in England are being “left in limbo”, often unable to work, because of long and increasing delays in fitness to practise (FTP) cases. That was the warning from the British Association of Social Workers (BASW), Social Workers Union (SWU) and UNISON in a joint statement yesterday setting out their “significant concerns” about Social Work England’s operation of the FTP system.

The Society of Clinical Psychology maintains a list of empirically supported treatments (ESTs), using a set of requirements colloquially referred to as the “Tolin criteria” (Tolin et al., 2015). Under this practice, independent researchers may submit systematic reviews of treatments for consideration as an EST. As submissions have been coming in, a question was raised about whether all of these treatments should be considered psychological and therefore eligible for inclusion.

The government’s Stable Homes, Built on Love strategy is the biggest reform programme for children’s social care in many years. It is designed to ensure that many more children are supported to stay with their families or, with kinship carers; that those at risk are much better protected than is currently the case, and that those who do need to go into care receive a much better experience and, as a result, better life chances than now.

New research has found that every pound saved in closing police stations costs the rest of us £3 Every government looks to save money. Sometimes, it’s a priority to reduce spending, as with post-2010 austerity. Even when overall spending is rising, politicians may reduce spending in one area to make progress on a priority elsewhere. Doing things more efficiently is always a good idea.

Some forms of couple therapy have emphasized the importance of helping couples differentiate–helping them see each other as two separate individuals, instead of succumbing to a type of “twinning” where only alikeness is tolerated. There are certainly benefits to helping couples resist the draw to substitute being alike for being close. However, ignoring the nonconscious “sameness” of intimate partners is also missing an opportunity to make use of the right-brain natural attraction of similars

It can be extremely common for women to experience a wide range of emotions during pregnancy and the post-partum period, whether this be excitement, joy, anxiety, overwhelm, doubt and sadness. The transition to motherhood brings about significant changes to a woman’s life including physical changes, hormonal changes, and lifestyle changes. This stage can bring about changes not only to a woman’s sense of identity but to her relationships.

Though men still drink more overall than women do, gender gaps in drinking have narrowed, and in some cases, women are now drinking more than men in the same age group.
