The government has pledged to invest in new training routes into social work as part of its white paper on adult social care reform, published today. The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) said these would be funded from £500m allocated for developing the adult social care workforce from 2022-25. It also vowed to “improve the pre and post-qualification landscape” for social workers, and ensure “a sufficient supply of social workers with the right skills, knowledge and

Reform has social work values built in. I am so pleased to be writing this blog, celebrating the publication of ‘ People at the heart of care ’, the Government's adult social care reform White Paper. Social work and social care values are at its core. This is about valuing people and what matters to them, appreciating those who care for and support them, supported by a vision reminding us of our commitment to personalising care and support.

The director of children’s services has resigned and the government has intervened in a council after Ofsted found children at risk of harm and social workers “significantly under-resourced”. Ofsted downgraded North East Lincolnshire council to ‘inadequate ’ after a full inspection last month found services had “significantly deteriorated” since the good rating it earned in 2017.

Mental illness can prevent daily hygiene. I've been a victim of this and so have so many other people. Some people have come to me in confidence and said that they can't brush their teeth and it's causing major dental problems. Other people have said, in hushed tones, that they can't do their laundry so they don't leave their houses. These kinds of hygiene tasks are just too hard for some people disabled with serious mental illnesses.

More social workers in England renewed their registration than last year, following last night’s deadline, meaning less than 3,000 are set to be removed. Provisional data from Social Work England shows that, out of 96,948 practitioners needing to renew, just 2,869 (3%) failed to do so, compared to 4,590 last year and lower than the 4,000 to 6,000 leaving the register annually in recent years.

"Care certificates will create a new delivery standard recognised across the sector, which will facilitate more rewarding career paths for all colleagues and make sure there is a knowledge baseline for every care role."

With or without reform, the quality, reliability and effectiveness of our adult social care system depends on a workforce that feels valued, supported and encouraged to be the best.

Clear objectives, complex challenges. The desire to reform, rebuild and strengthen social care has been a longstanding ambition of successive governments and, while these objectives may be simply put, achieving them has often been anything but. This week, we took another big step forward with the publication of People at the Heart of Care , our adult social care system reform white paper.

The PM had already capped care costs at £86,000, ending most of the “catastrophic” impact on inheritances – albeit still leaving the poorest families vulnerable.

Nuclear. Nuclear technology revolutionized national power politics in the first half of the twentieth century. The MAD (mutual assured destruction) concept made world war a thing of the past and ushered in what was known as the "cold war". Rather than world powers sending hordes of young men onto the field of battle to slaughter one another, nuclear technology reduced human conflict to large national beasts glowering at one another across a nuclear divide.

? WXYZ-TV in Detroit has a story about relatives who took in a one-year-old child as a kinship foster care placement, only to have the child taken with them to be placed – forever – with strangers. The story asks: Under the law in Michigan, family members have priority to adopt their relatives. So why is the state saying the Mihailoff family can’t do that?
