Worrying findings in our latest Social Metrics Commission report. 2 million more people plunged into hardship since 2019, 260 000 children. As I say in the article, we see the consequences of this as @trusselluk.bsky.social foodbanks strive to meet soaring need. www.theguardian.com/society/2024...

New users? New followers? Hi! I’m a sociologist teaching in a department of social work at a public university. I study disability policy and organizing, and I post about it and related topics. And Chicago. And Star Wars. And other stuff. I’m in this starter pack alongside some great folks.

In case we do, I put together a social work academic Starter Pack. I’m sure I’ve unintentionally omitted folks who are already here, but I’ll keep updating.

I wrote something for ADCS about relational children's services. TLDR: relational institutions need both relational people and relational infrastructure for the people to work in. @jimbaggaley.bsky.social @jamestplunkett.bsky.social might be of interest www.adcs.org.uk/roses-and-co...
