@sharedhealthgm.bsky.socialFrom the 1st of September, councils will have to tell schools, GPs and health visiting teams when a child is placed in temporary accommodation. This new statutory duty is an important step towards better support and outcomes for families and children experiencing homelessness.
Show PostWe're delighted to have so many of our charity collaborators with us for our charity network meeting (and to have @sharedhealthgm.bsky.social's Sam Pratt presenting!) It's always so valuable to get your input, and to find new opportunities to work together to improve and save children's lives.
Show PostWe were absolutely overwhelmed to receive this standing ovation when @sstoianova.bsky.social and @emilytammam.bsky.social spoke at last week's #EAPC2026 in Prague. A testament to the important work of our programme in recent years, and how we are bringing it to new audiences around the world!
Show PostBetween 2019 and 2025, 104 children died with temporary accommodation indicated as a contributing factor. These figures are shocking and the system must change. Thank you to the Shared Health Foundation for this important report, scan the QR code to read the full report.
Show PostWe're pleased this week to have contributed not only to this work from @sharedhealthgm.bsky.social and the @ta-appg.bsky.social, but also to the meeting that they convened in Parliament. We hope these stark figures will prompt positive change for children and families.
